Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ alleged lover and outside counsel Nathan Wade purchased plane tickets in her name, according to a Friday court filing obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Bank statements contained in a Friday filing by Wade’s wife, Joycelyn Wade, show Wade purchased tickets to Miami and San Francisco in Willis’ name. The statements back up allegations contained in a motion filed last week by one of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants that Wade used money earned from the “lucrative” contract Willis signed off on to take her on vacations.
The motion alleged “Willis and Wade have traveled personally together to such places as Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean and Wade has purchased tickets for both of them to travel on both the Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise lines.” The statements contained in Friday’s filing also include payments for Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
Fulton County DA Fani Willis falsely stated Sunday that she paid all special prosecutors working on the case against former President Donald Trump the same hourly rate as her alleged romantic partner, Nathan Wade, documents obtained by the @DailyCaller News Foundation show.🧵

Joycelyn Wade’s Friday filing was made in response to Willis’ bid to quash a subpoena for her to testify in the couple’s divorce proceedings. Willis accused Joycelyn Wade Thursday in a court filing of seeking to “harass and embarrass” her to obstruct the prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
Wade’s wife rebutted Friday by stating Willis’ arguments are “disingenuous,” noting that evidence is clear “Ms. Willis was an intended travel partner ” for at least some trips disclosed in the bank statements attached.
Wade and Willis did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
