JUST IN: Fani Willis’ Trump Case Was ‘Planned’ Before She Took Office, Bombshell Testimony Reveals


0

The House Judiciary Committee released a bombshell transcript of Nathan Wade’s closed-door testimony on Monday, which revealed that District Attorney Fani Willis began planning her prosecution of former President Donald Trump well before assuming office. Wade, a special prosecutor hired by Willis to help manage the Trump investigation, made significant disclosures that indicate Willis’ intentions were clear before she officially became the Fulton County District Attorney in January 2021.

Wade’s testimony cleared the timeline of events leading to his appointment. Wade stated that Willis had formed a search committee to find a special prosecutor for the Trump case even before she took office on January 1, 2021. The search committee began its work shortly after the November 2020 presidential election, showing Willis’ early focus on prosecuting Trump.

“Absolutely,” Wade responded when asked if there was outreach to him before Willis assumed office. He noted that discussions about his potential role as a special prosecutor began between November 2020 and Willis’ inauguration.

Wade’s testimony also revealed his initial reluctance to accept the position. According to Wade, he turned down the offer multiple times, describing a process where “the committee turned their guns on me,” trying to convince him to take the role. “I said no. I said no more than once. But at some point, I relented and accepted the case because it did pose some interesting — I thought interesting legal issues.”

Despite his repeated refusals, Wade eventually agreed. He described it as a unique legal matter, unlike any other he had encountered in his career, adding, “It was unlike anything that has ever happened in American history, so I was right in that regard.”

Wade admitted that he had underestimated the implications of taking the position, noting warnings from former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes, who cautioned him about potential risks. However, Wade chose to proceed, driven by his interest in the complex legal challenges the case presented. According to Wade, communication with Willis was “daily” during the transition period. While initially focused on the Trump case, Wade indicated that he was involved in other criminal cases during his tenure. Despite objections from his counsel during the testimony, Wade confirmed that he had supervised attorneys working on various cases at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, not solely the Trump investigation.

Another crucial part of Wade’s testimony involved his acknowledgment of having met with officials from the Biden administration. Wade confirmed two meetings that took place during the investigation led by Willis, suggesting potential coordination between local and federal entities. The meetings occurred in mid-April 2022 in Washington, D.C., where Wade and other top members of Willis’ prosecution team met with congressional staffers, including representatives from the January 6th Committee. According to Wade, these meetings were focused on sharing insights related to the Trump investigation, although he maintained that no evidence was shared or retained by federal officials.

As the House Judiciary Committee continues to probe potential political motivations behind the Trump investigations, Wade’s testimony may serve as a key piece of evidence. With Wade’s revelations now public, Trump’s legal team is likely to leverage the information in their defense.
