Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her former special prosecutor Nathan Wade were spotted at Los Angeles International Airport this week, sparking fresh criticism. The video shows the pair traveling together, despite claiming their romantic relationship ended in early 2023. This has raised eyebrows about their honesty and judgment.
Willis hired Wade to lead the high-profile election interference case against former President Donald Trump. Critics argue she gave him the job because of their personal ties, not his qualifications. Taxpayers footed the bill for their trips together, which included vacations to luxury destinations. Now, even after Wade resigned, they’re seen together again—fueling concerns about accountability.
Georgia’s Senate investigative committee is fed up with Willis’ refusal to cooperate. Lawmakers say she’s ignored subpoenas and stonewalled their probe into possible misuse of state funds. Senator Greg Dolezal blasted Willis, saying she “thinks she’s above the law.” The committee warned it could pursue criminal charges if she continues dodging testimony.
Fox News commentators slammed the pair’s airport appearance. Jesse Watters joked about their “relationship drama” on his show, while analyst Katrina Campins called it a “conflict of interest.” Campins compared it to corporate scandals, saying such relationships “damage trust” in public officials. Conservatives argue the scandal undermines the credibility of the entire Trump prosecution.
Taxpayer watchdogs are outraged over the couple’s travel spending. Records show Wade billed taxpayers nearly $700,000 for his work on the Trump case—money that funded their trips together. Republican lawmakers say this proves Willis used public funds to benefit herself and her “loverboy,” as Watters labeled Wade. They demand audits of her office’s spending.
Legal experts warn the drama could derail the election case. Trump’s legal team has cited the relationship to argue the prosecution is politically motivated. With Wade gone, Willis insists the case will proceed, but critics say the damage is done. Many Georgians now question whether the trial can be fair after this ethical mess.
The state Senate isn’t backing down. They’ve set an April 15 deadline for Willis to hand over documents and testify. If she refuses, lawmakers could hold her in contempt—a move that might lead to fines or even arrest. Senator Bill Cowsert stressed they won’t cater to her “travel schedule” with Wade, calling her delays unacceptable.
This scandal has become a rallying cry for conservatives fighting “weaponized justice.” Many see it as proof that liberal prosecutors target Trump while ignoring their own misconduct. With Willis’ credibility in tatters, some demand she resign. As investigations heat up, Georgia voters are left wondering if their justice system favors political elites over the people.
