Fani Willis traveled with special counsel on several trips, court records show

Published January 19, 2024 2:30pm ET



Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney prosecuting former President Donald Trump, went on trips with the taxpayer-funded special counsel she appointed to the case, according to records revealed Friday in a divorce case involving his former spouse.

A motion filed last week by a defense attorney for one of Trump’s co-defendants accused Willis of being involved in a romantic and improper relationship with Nathan Wade, the main prosecutor leading the Georgia election interference case. On Thursday, Willis made clear she is seeking to quash a subpoena for her testimony in Wade’s divorce proceedings with his ex-wife, Joycelyn Wade, according to a court filing on Thursday.

But on Friday, a new filing seeking to keep Willis from dodging the subpoena was filed by attorneys for Wade’s ex-wife, revealing transactions by Wade that appear to show he and Willis went on a Royal Caribbean cruise together in October 2022.

The filing also references the pair’s travels to San Francisco and Napa.
