Trump prosecutor accused of ‘improper’ relationship with Georgia DA Fani Willis billed $4K for meetings with WH officials
Victor Nava | Jan. 10, 2024 | 12:01 a.m. ETThe special prosecutor that District Attorney Fani Willis is accused of having an “improper” relationship with
billed the Fulton County DA’s office $4,000 for two eight-hour meetings with White House officials while overseeing the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, according to court documents.
The apparent meetings attended by Nathan Wade, an Atlanta-based private attorney hired by Willis to assist in the prosecution of Trump and his co-defendants, took place in 2022 after he was tapped for the role, according to invoices included in a bombshell court filing first reported by the Daily Mail.
In the court filing, Michael Roman, a former Trump 2020 campaign official, argues that Willis should be disqualified from the case and the charges against him dropped because of her alleged “improper, clandestine personal relationship” with Wade.
The services rendered by Wade in conjunction with the case seemingly included
attending an event with White House counsel in Georgia and a meeting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, the invoices show.
Wade, who has been paid nearly $654,000 in legal fees by the Fulton County DA’s office since January 2022,
billed eight hours of work – at a $250 hourly rate – for a May 23, 2022, event listed in an invoice as “Travel to Athens; Conf with White House Counsel.”
On Nov. 18, 2022, Wade charged the county another $2,000 for an “
interview with DC/White House.” . . .
