Former Fulton County, Georgia, special prosecutor
Nathan Wade told lawmakers Monday that District Attorney Fani Willis planned to pursue charges against Donald Trump before she officially took the job, and admitted to meeting with Biden administration officials at least twice during Willis' probe of the former president.
In August 2023, a grand jury handed up an indictment to Trump and 18 allies for trying to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Wade was forced off Willis' legal team after their romantic relationship was exposed. Late last month, he was subpoenaed to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, which is probing prosecutions of Trump.
In a closed-door deposition before the committee last week,
Wade said he was on a "search committee" — set up before Willis took office on January 1, 2021 — to find prosecutors to go after Trump.
After being asked when the search for prosecutors started, Wade said, "Sometime after the election, but prior to her taking office," according to the House committee's transcript released Monday.
The transcript also showed that, at least 58 times during his testimony, Wade said he could not "recall" or didn't "know" key details of documented interactions he had with Biden White House officials and members of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi's House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
