In a new development surrounding the criminal case against former President Donald Trump, it has been revealed that the special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis purchased tickets for her to accompany him on out-of-state trips. The information emerged from court documents filed on Friday in Cobb County Superior Court by Joycelyn Wade in her divorce proceedings with the special prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

Credit card statements included in the court filing show that Nathan Wade bought airline tickets for both himself and Willis, booking trips to Miami in October 2022 and San Francisco in April 2023. These records shed light on the previously undisclosed personal relationship between the special prosecutor and the district attorney.

However, the divorce proceedings have taken a contentious turn, with Willis accusing Joycelyn Wade of using the case to harass her and damage her reputation. In her court filing on Thursday, Willis claimed that Joycelyn Wade, who has been separated from her husband for more than two years, is conspiring with individuals involved in the ongoing criminal election interference case to exploit the civil discovery process.

In response to these allegations, Joycelyn Wade's attorneys argued in a motion filed on Friday that the purpose of the divorce proceedings was not to harass Willis, but rather to seek relevant information about Nathan Wade's financial involvement in their relationship through depositions with his alleged paramour.

As the divorce case progresses, Willis has been subpoenaed to appear for a deposition on Tuesday. Furthermore, on January 31, a hearing is scheduled at Cobb County Superior Court to determine whether the records in the divorce proceedings should be unsealed.

Interestingly, allegations of an "improper" relationship between Willis and Nathan Wade have also surfaced in the Georgia election subversion case, with a 127-page court filing earlier this month by an attorney for Mike Roman, a former Trump 2020 campaign official indicted for his involvement in the fake electors plot in Georgia. In response to these allegations, a hearing set for February 15 will consider a motion seeking to disqualify Willis from the case.

The revelations about the special prosecutor's purchase of tickets for the district attorney's trips add a new layer of complexity to the ongoing legal saga surrounding Trump's actions in Georgia following the 2020 election. As these developments unfold, the outcome of the various legal proceedings will continue to shape the narrative surrounding Trump's alleged involvement in election interference.
