Damning Airport Video Raises Serious Questions
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis finds herself in hot water after being caught on video with Nathan Wade at Los Angeles International Airport, despite previously claiming their romantic relationship had ended. The UK’s Daily Mail obtained exclusive footage showing the pair traveling together, marking their first public appearance since their controversial affair was exposed.
The revelation comes at a particularly damaging time for Willis, who is already facing intense scrutiny over her handling of the high-profile election interference case against President Donald Trump. The relationship between Willis and Wade was central to allegations of misconduct and conflict of interest that threatened to derail the prosecution.
Willis had previously testified under oath that her relationship with Wade began in 2022 and ended in 2023, but the new airport video casts doubt on that timeline. Defense attorneys in the Trump case have argued that Willis benefited financially from appointing Wade as special prosecutor, pointing to his payment of $645,000 for his role in the case.
Open Records Violations Add to Willis’ Troubles
The airport sighting comes just days after Willis was ordered to pay $54,000 in attorney fees for what a judge called intentional violations of Georgia’s Open Records Act. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause found Willis’ non-compliance with records requests was completely unjustified, dealing another blow to the prosecutor’s credibility.
Attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, described the difficulty in obtaining public records from Willis’ office. “They were just ignoring it and telling us that documents didn’t exist that we knew existed and resisting at every move, so we really didn’t have a choice,” she said, referring to the lawsuit that finally forced Willis to comply.
The records controversy further complicates the already troubled prosecution of Trump and his associates in Georgia.
Legal Experts Question Willis’ Future in Trump Case
Despite the growing evidence of misconduct, legal experts suggest perjury charges against Willis remain unlikely. Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Business Insider that even though Willis’ credibility is “shot,” prosecutors are hesitant to pursue perjury cases without overwhelming evidence.
“You don’t want to file charges unless you’re pretty confident you can get a conviction,” Rahmani stated.
Republicans insist that Willis’ relentless pursuit of Donald Trump is further evidence that the numerous legal cases against him amount to politically motivated “lawfare” rather than a legitimate pursuit of justice.
