Wade and Willis' alleged romantic relationship was first exposed in a filing in the election fraud case on Jan. 8 by defendant Michael Roman. Wade had filed for divorce from his wife of 26 years, Joycelyn, on Nov. 1, 2021 — a day after he was appointed special prosecutor by Willis.
Bombshell court filings from Joycelyn appeared to confirm Wade’s relationship with his boss when credit card statements from 2022 and 2023 submitted to the court showed her estranged husband paying for plane tickets for himself and Willis to head to California and Florida, followed by charges on cruise ships and at luxury hotels.
Newly-obtained public records from Fulton County suggest Wade was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the other special prosecutors on the case.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis acknowledged entering a personal relationship with a prosecutor who is helping lead her case against Donald Trump but said it has no bearing on her handling of the probe.
