Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, was subpoenaed to testify in a colleague’s divorce case, raising suspicions about possible wrongdoing in the Trump probe.
The Wall Street Journal has disclosed that DA Willis, who is highly respected, has been called to take part in Nathan Wade’s divorce proceedings. Wade, who Willis hired and who had previously worked as a special prosecutor in the Trump case, is now asking to see her. This subpoena was issued to Willis’s executive assistant at her Georgia office, per Wade’s wife Joycelyn’s request.

A representative for Willis decided not to comment at this time. They did, however, say that they will respond to the subpoena shortly. No public reports of the response have been released as of Wednesday morning.
Concerns regarding DA Willis’s extramarital affairs came to light after a co-defendant of Trump filed a request to have her office removed from the lawsuit, claiming an “improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case.” Along with President Trump and sixteen other individuals, former Trump campaign staffer Mike Roman is accused of trying to tamper with Georgia’s 2020 election results.
Roman’s lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant, said that a connection between Willis and Wade came about. “In the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.” She asked the judge to order the unsealing of the sealed divorce case records, claiming they would support Roman’s allegations.
In an interview on Monday night, Merchant said she looked over the Fulton County Board of Commissioners meeting minutes in great detail. This body has the authority to authorize the appointment of special prosecutors. Merchant said that despite her best efforts, she was unable to locate any proof that DA Willis had asked for Wade to be hired.

The files from the Merchant have stunned the Atlanta legal community and garnered a great deal of national attention, catapulting DA Willis—a progressive prosecutor who was previously unknown—into the national limelight. Whether she has adhered to the law scrupulously in her personal life might have an impact on the result of her racketeering case, which is presently being tried by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. She had previously been accused of having a romantic relationship with a former drug dealer, who her office went on to prosecute.
While his co-defendants have opted to seek plea agreements in return for testifying against him, President Trump adamantly maintains his innocence.
