On Thursday, a former "good friend" and employee of the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis dropped a bombshell in court testimony after she was asked when Willis entered into a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor hired on to the Trump case with an exorbitant salary. Both Willis and Wade have previously told the court that their relationship did not begin until after she hired him in 2021 but the new testimony contradicts that assertion.
Robin Yeartie, who previously worked in the Fulton County District Attorney's office, told the court that she had no doubt that Willis and Wade were engaged in a romantic relationship beginning in 2019 despite the fact that Willis has claimed that they were only friends at that time. "You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with her?" lawyer Ashleigh Merchant asked, to which Yeartie responded, "No doubt."
Yeartie's testimony is terrible news for Willis, who could be facing charges for lying to the court and, at the very least, be thrown off the case that she brought against 45th President Donald Trump.
In the lengthy document submitted to the court last month, Willis admitted to the personal relationship with Wade but argued that the allegations against her are "meritless" and "salacious." She also claimed that no romantic relationship took place in 2019. She went on to argue that the judge should reject any attempt by Trump or the various co-defendants from attempting to get her removed from the case. She also argued that there was no evidence that the relationship between Wade and herself impacted her work.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Nathan Wade's estranged wife, Joycelyn Wade, submitted a document to the Cobb County courthouse showing that the special prosecutor had paid for plane tickets for Fani Willis and himself to San Fransisco and Miami. The submission of the document comes after former Trump aid Michael Roman's lawyer Ashleigh Merchant filed a motion arguing that the duo prosecuting Trump were engaged in a romantic relationship that led to Willis paying him an exorbitant salary to then spend on lavish vacations. The district has paid Wade over $650,000 since he joined the office in November 2021.
