NEW: Fani Willis’ Ex-Lover, Top Prosecutor Makes Shocking Legal Move

After receiving nearly three-quarters of a million dollars to help prosecute former President Donald Trump, the ex-lover of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has filed a stunning claim in his ongoing divorce case.

According to the New York Post, Nathan Wade has asked a Georgia judge to dismiss Joycelyn Wade’s request for alimony and child support payments, claiming he can no longer meet the obligations he agreed to just three months ago.

“With the income from [Wade’s] employement (sic) as the Special Prosecutor no longer coming in, and with income from [his] private practice being diminished, [he] is no longer able to … meet the financial obligations set forth in the temporary order,” Wade’s divorce lawyer M. Scott Kimbrough wrote in papers filed Monday.

According to the outlet, Wade was paid approximately $250 per hour while helping Willis investigate Trump and other co-defendants related to alleged attempts to change the outcome of Georgia’s 2020 election results. His total pay reached around $700,000 before he was forced to resign after defense attorneys uncovered his romantic relationship with Wade.

Now, Joycelyn Wade’s attorneys write, the former prosecutor is leaving their client with less than $1,000 per month as she deals with health ailments that prevent her from working. Among other promises broken by Wade were continued financial support for their son’s nascent soccer career in Europe and their daughter’s rent as she prepares for examinations to win admission to medical school, they added.

The agreement was reached just days before Willis was expected to testify in the divorce case, a sit down that could have even further damaged her prosecutorial credentials.

The tempers have escalated so much that Joycelyn Wade’s attorneys are asking the judge to jail Wade until he comes up with the cash.

Wade and Willis gained national attention in January after the attorney for co-defendant Mike Roman came forward alleging impropriety by the defense with the hiring of Wade, who he alleged began a prior relationship with Willis and was therefore complicit in nepotism. Willis stayed silent for weeks before firing back with a caustic claim of racism though didn’t dispute that she and Willis were intertwined. Both ultimately testified that their relationship did not precede his hiring, testimony that was directly contradicted by a former friend of Willis as well as the former divorce attorney for Wade. Evidence introduced by Roman’s attorney shows cell phone data triangulating Wade making overnight stays at Willis’ condo long before his hiring.

In March Judge Scott McAfee ordered Willis to step down from the case or recuse Wade, who ultimately did so himself. Weeks of sensational distraction may ultimately doom the case as some legal observers predict.

President Trump’s attorneys aren’t letting up either. A Georgia court of appeals is currently reviewing Judge McAfee’s decision allowing Willis to continue overseeing the case. Separately, a co-defendant is arguing that Willis overstepped her authority in pursuing an election-related charge without first consulting with Georgia election officials, a step that would typically inform grand jury proceedings on such a matter.
