Credit card statements show Trump special prosecutor appointed by Georgia DA Fani Willis bought her plane tickets
A Fulton County commissioner says he's pursuing an investigation into Willis over allegations that she had an improper relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade.
ATLANTA — Nathan Wade, the outside special prosecutor appointed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to oversee her criminal racketeering case against Donald Trump, purchased plane tickets for the DA for trips together, according to credit card statements included in a Friday court filing obtained by NBC News.
A co-defendant in the Trump case, Michael Roman, had previously made misconduct accusations against the pair, alleging they had been “engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case, which has resulted in the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.”
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a hearing on the allegations for Feb. 15.
The credit card statements showing Wade had purchased tickets for himself and Willis to travel San Francisco and Miami in 2022 and 2023 were attached to a filing by Wade’s estranged wife, Joycelyn Wade, in the couple’s ongoing divorce case in Cobb County, Georgia.
The DA’s office declined to comment on the credit card statements.
