Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade steps out armed with handgun after bombshell Fani Willis affair allegations — and didn’t deny tryst

Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor leading the election interference case against Donald Trump in Georgia, did not deny having an affair with his boss, Fani Willis, when he was spotted Thursday for the first time since the bombshell allegations came to light.

Wade, who appeared to be openly carrying a handgun, refused to respond — but also didn’t issue a denial — when asked by The Post if he had spent any of the $654,000 he had earned working on the Trump case to take Willis on lavish trips.

Willis is the Fulton County district attorney who brought election interference charges against the former president and 18 co-defendants. She hired Wade, her alleged secret lover and a private attorney with the Atlanta-based Wade & Campbell Firm, to oversee the case in late 2021.

The special prosecutor arrived at his law office outside Atlanta, Georgia, in a silver Audi A8 L 4.2 Quattro — valued new at more than $100,000 — around 1:45 p.m. Thursday. Wearing a trendy cobalt suit, he walked from the luxury car toward the office and declined to comment on the alleged affair.

“No,” he snapped when asked if he would answer any questions. Moments later, Wade left the building and appeared to be holding a gun in one hand. Georgia is an open-carry state even without a permit and The Post does not suggest Wade was involved in any wrongdoing.

The co-prosecutors were accused of having an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship in a stunning motion filed Monday by Michael Roman, one of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in Willis’ Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act probe.

The court filing alleged without evidence that Wade paid for lavish vacations with Willis to Florida, Napa Valley and the Caribbean, using the legal fees he’s been paid by the Fulton County DA’s Office.

The DA appears to have “solely authorized” his compensation, which reached almost $700,000 in 2021-2022 alone, according to the motion and county records.

“Willis and Wade have engaged in a personal relationship both before and after Willis appointed Wade as the special prosecutor in the instant case,” the motion states. “Willis and Wade were romantically involved prior to Willis awarding a contract for legal services with Wade. It is not entirely clear when the relationship began, but it began while Wade was married.” Wade filed for divorce from his wife, Joycelyn, in November 2021 after 26 years of marriage, according to records — the same month he started working with the Fulton County DA’s office. The pair share two adult children together.

The lawyer Wade landed the contract, which started on November 1, 2021, despite having no experience prosecuting a complex RICO Act case like the one against Trump and his associates. The court filing said the payments made to Wade from Fulton County and his subsequent purchase of vacations with Willis could amount to honest services fraud, a federal crime in which a vendor gives kickbacks to an employer.

The district attorney “personally benefited from an undisclosed conflict of interest”, it continued. It is also possible this could be prosecuted under the federal racketeering statute, the motion said. Roman is facing seven charges related to the alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election, including a violation of the Georgia RICO Act, conspiracy to impersonate a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, and conspiracy to commit false statements and writing. He is now insisting that Willis be disqualified and the case tossed, arguing that there is a conflict of interest, and alleging she is incentivized to prosecute the case to continue reaping “lucrative amounts.”

Pallavi Bailey, a spokeswoman for Willis, said the DA’s office will respond to Roman’s allegations “through appropriate court filings.”

On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a criminal misconduct complaint against Willis over the allegations, echoing claims that Willis may have financially benefited by hiring her alleged lover as special prosecutor.

Meanwhile, Willis has been subpoenaed to testify in Wade’s divorce proceedings. In a court filing obtained by The Post, a process server said he served a subpoena to Willis at her office in Atlanta on Monday morning.
