Nathan Wade testifies Fani Willis jumpstarted Trump investigation before she took office

Former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade has acknowledged attending multiple meetings with staff from the Biden administration during the investigation into former President Donald Trump. This information emerged from a recently released transcript of Wade's deposition before the House Judiciary Committee, which is part of an inquiry led by Chairman Jim Jordan regarding the prosecution of Trump and his associates for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Key Points from the Transcript
Meeting Details: Wade indicated he met with White House representatives on at least two occasions but did not provide specific details about these meetings, such as whether they were in-person or remote. He did confirm the existence of invoices that suggest discussions took place.
Invoices and Billing: One invoice referenced "travel to Athens; conf with White House counsel, May 23rd, 2022." Wade clarified that while he billed for a conference with White House counsel, the document did not specify that this meeting occurred in Athens. He also indicated he had no specific memory of another meeting listed as "Interview with D.C./White House, November 18th, 2022," which he billed for eight hours at a rate of $25,012.

Legal Context: Wade's attorney noted that if meetings occurred with current White House employees, it would likely be related to prosecutors interviewing individuals like former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows. This aligns with legal requirements for prosecutors to confer with government officials before interviewing federal employees.
Wade's admissions raise questions about the nature of these meetings and their relevance to the ongoing investigations into Trump's actions surrounding the 2020 election.
