Fani Willis' alleged lover, Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, spent more than $1,000 on airfare for the embattled Fulton County District Attorney Bank statements, which are part of Wade's divorce case, show Willis' name on airfare purchases as Wade was probing former President Donald Trump Willis has been accused of hiring her lover and benefiting from his $650,000 salary in a 'self-serving arrangement' by one of the Trump defendants
Fani Willis’ alleged lover, Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, spent more than $1,000 on airline tickets so he and the Fulton County District Attorney could travel together while he was investigating former President Donald Trump.
Bank statements that are part of Wade’s divorce case show Willis’ name on airfare purchases amid questions about why Wade – who doesn’t have much prosecutorial experience – was hired, and allegations they were having an affair.
The claims of Willis and Wade having an improper relationship are tainting the Georgia election interference case against Trump and 18 accomplices, as one of the defendants, former Trump campaign aide Mike Roman, is asking the court to have the entire case dismissed.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday that on October 4, 2022 Wade purchased an American Airlines ticket to Miami for himself, Willis and Clara Bowman, who is believed to be his mother, for $1,367.
That same day Wade paid $2,672.55 to Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Three days later, Wade spent $3835.26 on a company called Vacation Express, which offers tour packages.
Flight records analyzed by the AJC show that Wade, Willis and Bowman arrived in Miami on October 28, 2022.
Wade and Willis traveled from Miami to Aruba while Bowman stayed in Miami and returned to Texas on October 31.
Wade’s credit card statement also shows he spent $370 for a Hyatt Regency in Aruba on November 4 and $3,173 to Norwegian Cruise Line on November 7, though it’s unclear who used the hotel room and took the cruise.
Then in April 2023, Wade purchased $817.80 in Delta Air Lines to San Francisco in both his and Willis’ names.
It’s unclear when these flights were taken.
Wade also spent $840.22 on May 14 for a DoubleTree hotel in Napa Valley.
Former President Donald Trump had a field day Friday with the disclosure of bank statements that showed Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade had purchased flights for his alleged lover, Fulton County District Attorny Fani Willis
Trump had a field day with the latest reporting.
‘WOW! Just released Credit Card records (showing a small sample only) irrefutably prove that Fulton County, Georgia (Crime-ridden Atlanta) D.A. Fani Willis colluded with her Boyfriend/Lover to wrongfully target me in order to ENRICH themselves, and to live the Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous! Cruises, Wineries, Shopping, and so much more – paid for with money they got by persecuting me and other honorable American Patriots!….’ Trump posted to Truth Social Friday.
A spokesperson for Willis did not respond to AJC’s request for comment.
In a 127-page court filing Roman’s lawyer Ashleigh Merchant points out Wade’s ‘lack of relevant experience’ but notes he’s been paid approximately $650,000 in legal fees since Willis appointed him to that role.
The complaint called that a ‘self-serving arrangement,’ as Wade took Willis to Napa Valley, Florida and the Caribbean.
Trump’s attorney said Friday that they’re considering joining Roman’s case against Willis.
The judge has scheduled a February 15 hearing on the matter and prosecutors must file a response by February 2.
Merchant did not provide evidence of a romantic relationship, instead citing ‘sources close’ to the alleged couple.
Wade’s estranged wife Joycelyn Mayfield Wade provided the bank statements in a court filing as she tried to get Willis to sit for a deposition in the divorce case.
In a filing Thursday, Willis sought to throw out the subpoena, with her lawyer accusing Joycelyn Mayfield Wade of trying to interfere with the Trump election interference case.
