Subpoena.. Fani is going to face RICO charges & she lied IN CHURCH
Divorce Records for Special Trump Prosecutor Tapped by Fani Willis Unsealed The special prosecutor was held in contempt for failing to comply with an order, one document shows
The media outlets said that allegations of a romantic relationship between Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis were of significant public concern, and that the public interest in the divorce documents outweighed any privacy interests.
The case against President Trump “is a criminal proceeding of historic importance” and the claim of a relationship between the special prosecutor and district attorney “must be answered in a transparent manner to preserve public confidence in our judicial system,” the outlets stated.
Ashleigh Merchant, who is representing Michael Roman, one of President Trump’s co-defendants in a conspiracy case, had also asked that the records be unsealed.
Superior Court Judge Henry Thomas sided with the outlets, but also stayed the deposition of Ms. Willis, local outlets reported. A record showed that Ms. Willis had been set to answer questions under oath during a deposition on Jan. 23.
Ms. Willis had tried squashing the subpoena in a filing that accused Ms. Wade of having “conspired with interested parties” in the case against President Trump “to annoy, embarrass, and oppress District Attorney Willis.”
Attorneys for Ms. Willis alleged she “cannot provide unique personal knowledge of any matter that is relevant to Defendant Wade’s divorce.”
Mr. Wade was appointed by Ms. Willis in 2021, after he spent time as an attorney and judge.
Ms. Willis has not denied being in a relationship with Mr. Wade. At a church in Atlanta, she alleged that she was being targeted because she is black.
The initial allegations about Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade were made in a motion by Mr. Roman’s attorney.
“Willis has benefited substantially and directly, and continues to benefit, from this litigation because Wade is being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to prosecute this case on her behalf,” the motion stated, adding that Mr. Wade “will continue to be incentivized to prosecute this case based on his personal and financial motives, so he has acquired a unique and personal interest or stake in Mr. Roman’s continued prosecution.”
Bank records detailed by Ms. Wade in a Jan. 19 filing that was previously disclosed to the public showed that flights for Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis were purchased together, including flights from Atlanta to Miami and San Francisco.
“The evidence is clear that Ms. Willis was an intended travel partner for at least some of these trips as indicated by flights he purchased for her to accompany him,” Andrea Hastings, an attorney representing Ms. Wade, said in the filing.
A separate hearing is slated to take place on Feb. 15 on Mr. Roman’s motion for the disqualification of Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade. Ms. Willis has been ordered to respond to the claims by Feb. 2. |
