Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) on Tuesday demanded that the Georgia State Bar launch an investigation into the alleged “inappropriate sexual relationship” between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade.
The Florida Republican argued that reports of “possible criminal acts” resulting from the alleged secret affair between Willis and Wade, an Atlanta-area private attorney who was tapped by the district attorney in November 2021 to be the special prosecutor in his election interference case against former President Donald Trump – warrant an investigation.
“Public media has widely reported an affair and inappropriate sexual relationship between District Attorney Willis and Special Prosecutor Wade. If true, not only would it be extremely inappropriate for a supervisor and subordinate to have such an intimate relationship, but it would also give rise to potential bias violations, conflicts of interest, and potential kickbacks.” Mills wrote in a letter. to the Georgia State Bar.

The lawmaker further argues that Wade “does not meet the criteria to prosecute a felony case” and had never prosecuted a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act before being named lead prosecutor in Trump’s RICO case in Georgia by his “alleged lover.”
An explosive motion filed last week by Michael Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants in the sprawling Willis election interference case, accused the co-prosecutors of having a “clandestine” relationship and alleged that Wade paid for lavish vacations with the prosecutor. of the district in Florida.

“I find it difficult to see this as anything other than a direct conflict of interest and politically charged interference, potentially in collusion with the Biden White House, with an ongoing investigation against Biden’s main political opponent for the Oval Office,” Mills wrote.
The lawmaker also claims that Willis used taxpayer money intended to clear a backlog of cases resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic to hire Wade and pay him “78.57% more than other attorneys appointed to the cases.”
“That represents an exorbitant salary for someone who apparently has no experience litigating RICO cases,” Mills argued. “Once again, there is a clear and compelling conclusion that can be drawn from this, if proven true: Wade was paid more because of her sexual relationship with the district attorney.”
in a cheepMills mocked Willis’s alleged “corrupt and unethical practices, conflict of interest and possible collusion with Joe Biden” and said the state bar’s investigation should result in his “disbarment and termination.”
“Georgia, the taxpayers and President Donald Trump deserve better than this circus of corruption and kangaroo courts,” he added. “This is a direct attack on justice.”
Roman, a former Trump 2020 campaign official, maintains that Willis should be disqualified from the case and charges against her dropped because of her alleged relationship with Wade.
