    In a recent appearance before Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, Willis barely addressed the substance of the allegations — more on those shortly — but chose instead to frame them largely as a racially motivated attack. The judge overseeing the case recently directed Willis to respond to the allegations in a court filing by Feb. 2, with a hearing scheduled on the matter for Feb. 15. Meanwhile, many of Willis’ once-very-vocal legal and political supporters appear to be going easy on her — largely staying quiet, keeping their heads down as the silence grows increasingly awkward and perhaps hoping...

    A Fulton County resident vented anger at District Attorney Fani Willis for her politically motivated prosecution of former president Donald Trump. During an address to the County Board of Commissioners, resident Derrick Blassingame unloaded on Willis, accusing her of “mismanagement” of taxpayer dollars and interference in the election. “I’m done with Fulton County fumbling our elections,” Blassingame said. “I’m done with the gross mismanagement of our taxpayer dollars by the Fulton County Democrats on this body.” Blassingame also brought up Willis’ alleged affair with Nathan Wade, saying he was “disgusted.” Willis hired Wade as the special prosecutor for Trump’s election...
  • Kari Lake slams 'the corrupt swamp' of DC and says her campaign is 'good versus evil' as blasts DeWit for not apologizing to the people of Arizona over the blackmail tape

    Arizona senate candidate Kari Lake on Wednesday said her campaign was 'a good-versus-evil battle', lashing out against the 'corruption' of the political establishment which tried to convince her to leave politics. Lake, a staunchly pro-Trump former TV news anchor, held a live social media Q&A after a tumultuous few days. On Tuesday, DailyMail.com published audio of the head of Arizona's Republican party, Jeff DeWit, offering her money to get out of politics. The clip was recorded in March 2023 - four months after her unsuccessful bid to become governor of Arizona, and when she was weighing her political future. On...
  • Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are ‘saving democracy’ — through corruption

    The best way to save democracy, it seems, is by spending taxpayer dollars on cruises with your boss/girlfriend. At least, that was the approach of Trump special prosecutor and Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ alleged paramour Nathan Wade. Wade spent north of $6,000 on travel to places like Aruba in October and November 2022 alone, records from his ugly divorce case reveal — and he paid for plane tickets for Willis, clearly intending her to fly with him on at least some of the lavish trips. So, to recap: Staunch and incorruptible defender of the republic Willis hires Wade, an...

    FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - An allegation by one of former President Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case is threatening to delay the prosecution of the former president and the remaining co-defendants. Former White House aide Michael Roman has accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of having an "improper, clandestine relationship" with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade and benefiting when Wade then paid for the two of them to go on vacations. Timeline: ⚫ Aug. 14, 2023: Former President Donald Trump and 18 other people are indicted by a Fulton County grand jury, accused of scheming to illegally overturn...

    Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office agreed to pay $10,000 on a service to monitor her media coverage just days before announcing the probe into former President Donald Trump, according to invoices and emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. snip The documents show Willis’ interest in tracking media coverage of herself and her office as she launched an investigation into the former president. snip “We are getting more coverage via your name than by title,” said what appears to be a Fulton County employee in a Feb. 2021 email, referencing Willis. “This graph has the coverage value...

    Things are not going well for Fani. It’s all of her own doing. She has gotten caught in some very unethical and corrupt behavior, allegedly, something she probably didn’t expect to happen. Her current term ends on December 31, 2024. She apparently thought that her high-profile case against the former president would be her ticket to re-election. Now there are calls for her to recuse herself from the case. It’s an ugly intersection of professional malpractice and personal soap opera. As it turns out, Fani hired her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, to serve as a special prosecutor in the case in...

    Ajudge on Monday cut off a lawyer for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as he was arguing why his client should not be deposed in a divorce hearing involving special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she hired to handle the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. Willis, who is accused of having an affair with Wade, was originally scheduled for a deposition in the case on Tuesday, but Judge Henry Thompson delayed that ruling until after Wade himself is questioned later this month. During a brief hearing at Cobb County Superior Court Monday, Willis’ lawyer, Cinque Axam,...

    Bombshell divorce documents that could upend the election subversion case against Donald Trump in Georgia are set to be released after being dramatically unsealed by a judge. Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney who charged Trump, faces accusations of an inappropriate relationship with Nathan Wade, the prosecutor she hired to pursue the case against the former president. Unsealing Wade's divorce case means Wills now faces more secrets of her ties to him being spilled.

    The Georgia Senate is set this week to authorize a subpoena-powered investigative committee to probe the alleged corruption of Fani Willis, Fulton County’s district attorney, Breitbart News exclusively learned Monday. The potential committee is significant because Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) refused to launch a criminal investigation into Willis last week, citing the need for a currently non-operational oversight committee to open the probe. The proposed Georgia Senate committee could hold subpoena power as soon as later this week to “secure the attendance of witnesses or the production of documents and materials” related to Willis, according to a resolution put...

    Special prosecutor Nathan Wade paid for Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis to accompany him on at least two trips in 2022 and 2023 after Willis had already hired him to oversee her RICO case against former President Donald Trump, court filings show. Wade’s estranged wife, Joycelyn, submitted a court filing on Friday in the couple’s ongoing divorce case which included credit card statements. The statements showed that Wade had purchased plane tickets for himself and Willis to travel to San Francisco and Miami over the past year ... The court filing comes after Michael Roman, a co-defendant in...

    Looks like there's more trouble for Fulton County DA Fani Willis. We reported earlier about the response from Jocelyn Wade to Willis' attempt to get out of a deposition in Wade's divorce case. Wade wants her to talk about the money that she paid Nathan Wade, Jocelyn's husband and Willis' alleged "paramour' (the term used in Jocelyn Wade's filing), so that could help her figure out the marital estate for purposes of the divorce and the spousal support. Willis ridiculously accused Jocelyn Wade of colluding with the parties in the election interference case and trying to harass her. Then Wade...

    A Trump impeachment lawyer called on the lead prosecutor in the Georgia election fraud case against the former president to step down amid explosive allegations he was hired while in a relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Norm Eisen, who served as special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, told The Washington Post that controversy surrounding Nathan Wade’s hiring as special prosecutor will only continue to snowball — and the allegations of impropriety risk delaying a verdict for the former president and his 14 co-defendants. snip The request came amid...

    Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis (D.), accused of hiring her lover to prosecute former president Donald Trump, is the latest anti-Trump icon to embarrass herself and her boosters in the media. Willis allegedly engaged in an improper relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired to lead the racketeering case against Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. A court filing in the case last week accused the pair of having a "clandestine" and "improper" relationship and taking vacations together to "Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean" with some of the $654,000 in legal fees...

    And the hits just keep on comin’! Late yesterday, in a day filled with all sorts of development in the Fani Willis scandal, yet another shoe dropped in the saga. After evidence emerged that Willis-appointed special prosecutor Nathan Wade did indeed spend some of the money Willis paid him for her travel and vacations, the Fulton County Audit Committee has now taken an interest in the case. County commissioner and committee chair Bob Ellis sent a letter to Willis demanding to know if she benefited from the taxpayer funds she directed to Wade. Because if she did, well … that’s...

    Boy howdy… when things get interesting, they REALLY get interesting. In an effort to deflect attention from the gross corruption she initiated in the prosecution of Donald Trump, Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis stepped into the middle of a contentious divorce between Willis’s married lover and appointed Special Prosecutor, Nathan Wade, and his wife, Joycelyn Wade. After discovering details of the relationship between Nathan Wade and Fani Willis, lawyers representing Mrs. Joycelyn Wade wanted a deposition of Fani Willis. At issue are the finances in the marriage and Mrs. Wade’s discovery that her husband, Nathan Wade, and Fani Willis had...
