Wade said last week that he visited the property little more than ten times before being hired in November 2021.
Willis and Wade claim that they began dating at the beginning of 2022.
In light of recently uncovered information, attorney and legal expert Jonathan Turley thinks a Georgia judge could send Fani Willis for prosecution.
Willis and Nathan Wade, the prosecutor she chose in 2021 to lead the racketeering case against former President Donald Trump, have come under fire because of a personal connection that terminated in the summer of 2023.

Trump and the other eighteen defendants are accused of conspiring to prevent Joe Biden from winning the 2020 Georgia election.
The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges and claims the investigation is politically motivated. He is currently the front-runner for the Republican nominee in the 2024 race.
In an attempt to disqualify Willis and her team and have his charges dropped, Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the case and former Trump campaign staffer, made allegations of a personal relationship between Willis and Wade early in January. Roman has pleaded not guilty in this instance.
Chief Judge Scott McAfee convened a series of hearings last week to determine whether to remove Willis and her office from the lawsuit.
Wade was questioned if he had ever been to Willis’s house when she was testifying.
Then Willis burst out, exclaiming, “So let’s be clear, ’cause you lied in this” while displaying official court paperwork. “It is a lie! It is a lie!”
Turley, a George Washington University Law School professor who provided testimony at both the 1998 Bill Clinton impeachment investigation and the 2019 Trump impeachment hearing, posted on X, previously Twitter, “We are still awaiting a response from Willis so this is only one side. However, it could put Willis’s combative testimony into sharp relief as she declared, ‘It’s a lie. It’s a lie’ on the stand.”
Trump’s lawyers asked McAfee to review more evidence in a Friday supplementary brief, citing a private investigator’s affidavit analyzing Wade’s cellphone location data among other things. It was this proof that Turley was referring to.
Based on the investigator’s evidence, Wade came to Willis’s residence late at night twice in 2021 and left early in the morning, once in September and once in November.
“If the court believes that Willis and Wade lied on the stand, he could refer the matter for possible prosecution…by some other office. He could also consider a referral to the bar. Once again, the insistence on Willis and Wade that they remain in the case is troubling,” Turley stated in an X post that followed.
In a subsequent post, he said, “There is clearly a growing appearance of impropriety and possible conflicts of interest. It is clear that their continuation in the matter is undermining not just the integrity of the case but that of their office. While many praised Willis for her combative testimony, it only magnified the concerns for many about the underlying personal motivations and interests in the hiring of Nathan Wade.”
In Trump’s Georgia case, Turley told Newsweek via email on Saturday that Willis and Wade had to “step aside,” noting that their “problems are escalating.”
