Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor in the Trump Georgia case and the alleged lover of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, has admitted to meeting with White House officials multiple times during the prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The revelations came during an interview Wade had with the House Judiciary Committee, raising questions about potential White House interference in the Georgia RICO case against Trump.
The meetings, which took place on May 23rd and November 18th, 2022, were not previously disclosed to lawmakers or the public. Despite the importance of these discussions, Wade could not recall whether the meetings were conducted in person or remotely. When pressed for further details, Wade responded, “I don’t recall.”

The news sparked a firestorm online, with many calling out the potential for corruption and political bias in the handling of the case against Trump. Social media erupted with claims that the White House had colluded with Wade and Willis in the prosecution. The term “corrupt government” became a trending phrase on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), as critics of the Biden administration seized on the revelation.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who has been romantically linked to Wade, attempted to block his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. She sent a letter to Chairman Jim Jordan demanding that Wade’s interview be canceled and that he be instructed not to answer any questions. Despite her efforts, Wade appeared before the committee and admitted to the White House meetings, fueling suspicions of impropriety.
Fox News reported that Wade’s meetings with White House representatives were acknowledged in the interview transcripts but the content of the discussions remains unclear. Wade hinted at the existence of invoices and records documenting the conversations but did not elaborate on what was discussed.
Wade and Willis’s alleged relationship has been the subject of scandal since January, when Trump’s co-defendant Michael Roman exposed details of their personal involvement. Roman’s court filing alleged that Wade and Willis took luxury vacations together to destinations like Napa Valley and the Caribbean, using Fulton County funds to cover their trips. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Wade received nearly $654,000 in legal fees from Fulton County since January 2022.
Despite these claims, both Wade and Willis denied any improper relationship during testimony, though they reportedly lied under oath about the timeline of their involvement. The ongoing controversy surrounding their relationship has only deepened skepticism about the impartiality of the Trump RICO case.
In a significant blow to the prosecution, Judge Scott McAfee, overseeing the Trump RICO case, issued a 23-page ruling earlier this year addressing the “appearance of impropriety” in the relationship between Willis and Wade. While Willis was allowed to stay on the case, the judge ordered that Wade be removed due to concerns over potential conflicts of interest.
Judge McAfee also dropped six charges from the original 41-count indictment against Trump, casting doubt on the future of the prosecution. With the RICO case already facing challenges, Wade’s White House meetings and his alleged misuse of county funds for personal trips may further undermine the credibility of the investigation.
The RICO charges against Trump stem from his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. In August 2023, Willis brought a sweeping indictment against Trump and 18 others, charging them with RICO violations and conspiracy. The case has been a major focus of legal battles surrounding Trump, but the recent developments involving Wade and Willis’s conduct have raised new questions about the fairness of the prosecution.
Critics argue that the undisclosed White House meetings suggest possible coordination between the Biden administration and local prosecutors to target Trump politically. Wade’s involvement, coupled with his personal relationship with Willis, has only amplified calls for greater transparency and accountability in the case.
As the investigation moves forward, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact the overall prosecution. However, with Judge McAfee already scaling back charges and the House Judiciary Committee probing deeper into the conduct of those involved, the future of the RICO case against Trump is far from certain.
Fani Willis and Nathan Wade’s credibility now hang in the balance as public scrutiny intensifies and calls for accountability grow louder.
