newsweek,com, Mar 06, 2024, By Sean O’Driscoll
Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis paid the chief prosecutor in Donald Trump’s election fraud trial out of her seized property fund for the first three months he was hired, disclosed work contracts show.
Willis and Wade testified in February that they were previously in a relationship but insist that relationship began after Willis hired him to oversee the prosecution of Donald Trump and his co-accused, who were indicted for allegedly trying to overthrow the Georgia result of the 2020 presidential election.
The pair denied in their testimony that they had tried to cover up their relationship until Wade was hired to prosecute the Trump case.
Willis and Wade did not sign a contract until more than four months into Nathan Wade’s role as chief prosecutor in the Donald Trump election fraud case in Georgia.
Wade earned an average of $25,149 a month for his first 26 months on the case despite never having prosecuted a felony, a Newsweek review of his invoices has found.

I listened to the testimony today. One thing I found fascinating is how lawyers park funds. Client funds are parked into trust accounts. When the lawyer bills the client the funds are supposed to be moved to the lawyers taxable account. Wade settle rather when this came to light in his divorce case..
