Attorneys representing Joycelyn Wade, the estranged wife of Nathan Wade, disclosed in court filings that Nathan Wade purchased plane tickets in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ name, introducing a fresh twist to the controversy surrounding Willis. Bank statements presented as evidence reveal flights to Miami and San Francisco, intensifying suspicions of a romantic involvement between Willis and Wade, as reported by Fox News on January 20.
Court documents detail the acquisition of round-trip tickets for Wade and Willis to Miami in October 2022. Intriguingly, a third ticket for Clara Bowman, traveling from Houston to Miami on the same day, was also part of the transaction. Another round-trip ticket for Wade and Willis to San Francisco was recorded in April 2023. Joycelyn Wade’s legal team argues that these travel records strongly suggest a romantic connection between the two, leaving little room for alternative interpretations.
Fani Willis, who enlisted Nathan Wade to lead the prosecution against former President Donald Trump in a case related to alleged election interference, is under intense scrutiny for alleged improprieties in her relationship with Wade. Willis, facing a pretrial deposition subpoena in her divorce case, has moved to quash it, alleging harassment. Her attorney accuses Joycelyn Wade of conspiring to interfere with the criminal case against Trump.
