Former Special Prosecutor in Fani Willis’ Trump Probe Admits Meetings with Biden Administration Staffers
Former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade met with Biden administration officials on at least two occasions during District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation into former President Donald Trump, according to a recently released transcript.
Wade’s meetings are part of an inquiry by the House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan, into the prosecutions surrounding Trump.
A grand jury had previously indicted Trump and several associates on charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
During his interview with the committee, Wade confirmed the existence of invoices and records indicating discussions with White House representatives, although he did not provide details about the nature or format of these meetings.
One specific invoice referenced “travel to Athens; conf with White House counsel, May 23rd, 2022.” When asked about this line, investigators inquired whether it indicated a meeting with White House counsel.
Wade responded that the semicolon denoted a separate thought, challenging the implication that the meeting occurred in Athens. However, he eventually confirmed that if he billed for a conference with White House counsel, such a meeting did indeed happen.
Another invoice referred to an “Interview with D.C./White House, November 18th, 2022,” costing $2,000 for eight hours of work. Wade, however, could not recall any specific details about the participants, travel arrangements, or scheduling for this meeting despite acknowledging that he had billed for the interview.
The transcript does not clarify the subject matter of the meetings or whether they were directly related to Trump. Andrew Evans, Wade’s attorney, emphasised to Fox News Digital that Wade had “no specific memory” of the meetings.
He further noted that the invoices did not clarify whether the meetings were with officials from the Trump or Biden White House or specify the content of the discussions.
Wade indicated that if he met with current White House staff, it might have been in connection with interviewing individuals like former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, as required by legal precedent.
Wade’s involvement in the Fulton County investigation ended after it was revealed that he and Willis had entered into a romantic relationship, which has since ended. This relationship has led to accusations from Republicans that both Wade and Willis financially benefited from the investigation, claims both parties denied.
A co-defendant of Trump sought to have Willis and Wade disqualified from the case due to potential conflicts of interest stemming from their relationship. In March, a Fulton County judge ruled that while Willis could remain on the case, Wade must step down, leading to his resignation.
House investigators interrogated Wade for over four hours last week as questions continue to swirl around his conduct and the nature of his meetings during the high-profile investigation.
