The Case in Jeopardy?
In a court filing during their divorce case, Joycelyn Wade, the estranged wife of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, disclosed that her husband, hired by Willis, funded trips to San Francisco and Miami for himself and Willis. The court document, supported by Nathan Wade’s credit card statements, adds weight to previous claims made by a Trump co-defendant, Michael Roman, suggesting an adulterous relationship and financial misconduct within the case.
As accusations of unqualified appointments and misuse of funds emerge, the legal community awaits Willis’s formal response, which is due by February 2. Roman’s motion seeks the dismissal of Willis, Wade, and the DA’s office from the case, raising questions about the case’s future trajectory.
Beyond the courtroom drama, The Washington Post reports an investigation by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners into Willis’s possible misuse of county funds, along with allegations of valuable gifts from Nathan Wade. As the scandal deepens, the public and legal observers anticipate the forthcoming televised hearing on February 15, where Willis is expected to address Roman’s accusations.
