Trump Prosecutor Nathan Wade Makes Startling Admission About Georgia Case

By Updated: CORRUPTION

Nathan Wade, the former lover of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, testified in October that the two had kept President Joe Biden’s White House informed about their prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump, even though they denied doing so while Biden ran for re-election against him. The bombshell revelation came during Wade’s testimony before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, which, under Republican leadership, has sought to uncover any efforts by Willis, a Democrat, to tie her politically-motivated case against Trump to actions that might benefit Biden and, by extension, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Although the election interference case appears largely defunct following Trump’s re-election victory, the legal ramifications for Willis are far from over. She is currently facing both state and federal investigations into whether she misused her power or office resources in pursuing charges against Trump and 18 alleged co-conspirators.



News of Wade’s admission was reported by Fox News and highlighted on X by Alina Habba, President-elect Trump’s top attorney, who argued in court that Trump is innocent of interfering with Georgia’s 2020 election results. According to the report, the former prosecutor met with White House staff “on several occasions while working on the investigation.” He was also advised to familiarize himself with racketeering laws, implying that Willis was signaling to the White House her readiness to charge Trump with running a criminal enterprise by challenging the results of the state’s election.

WATCH:

The news serves as a vindication for Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney representing a co-defendant. In March, she was the first to suggest that Willis was meeting with Vice President Harris to keep the White House informed about updates in the case. According to a guest list from the White House presented during a Georgia Senate hearing, Merchant explained that Willis visited on February 28, 2023, and would have undergone extensive screening to secure a meeting with Harris. “My understanding is it’s highly regulated, who can access the White House, so you have to apply in person or apply ahead of time,” Merchant said, adding that it was an open record she obtained indicating Willis and Harris met that day.

Asked if the meeting took place before the indictment of Trump, Merchant replied, “Yes.” “Any further explanation of why Ms. Willis was meeting with the vice president of the United States?” the questioning attorney asked. “No,” Merchant replied.

For her part, Willis is now at the center of an escalating legal conflict after a Georgia judge ruled in favor of Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog organization, in a lawsuit seeking access to her office’s communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. Last week, Judge Robert McBurney of the Fulton County Superior Court made the decision following the failure of Willis’ office to timely respond to Judicial Watch’s open records request. The court issued a default judgment against Willis, compelling her to comply with Georgia’s open records laws and provide the requested documents within five business days.

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in March 2024, alleging that Willis had violated the Georgia Open Records Act. The request aimed to obtain records related to communications between Willis, Special Counsel Jack Smith—who was overseeing federal investigations connected to January 6—and the House January 6 Committee. Judicial Watch contended that Willis’s office falsely asserted that no such records existed.
