In the legal sideshow that has developed around the politicized Georgia prosecution of President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, the controversy surrounding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Nathan Wade now sees new defense arguments and evidence that challenges their sworn testimonies. The proof now indicates that their romantic relationship began well before they claimed it did, casting a dark shadow of doubt over the integrity of the entire case.
On Friday, defense lawyers threw a new wrench into the narrative presented by Willis and Wade. According to a new court filing laying out the findings of a cell phone tech expert, there is phone data suggesting that Wade made at least 35 visits to the Hapeville neighborhood where Willis resided before his employment to lead the Trump case. That directly contradicts Wade’s sworn courtroom testimony last week, in which he said he had visited Willis’ condominium no more than ten times before she hired him in November 2021.
🚨Attorney for President Trump, Steve Sadow, specifically asked Nathan Wade under oath how many times he'd visited Fani Willis's residence in 2021:

Willis and Wade maintained under oath that their romantic involvement did not begin until spring 2022, well after Wade’s appointment. However, the freshly presented cellphone data indicates otherwise, showing Wade’s nighttime through early morning visits to Willis’ residence on multiple occasions before they acknowledged the start of their romantic relationship.
The defendants in the case have argued that the financial relationship between Willis’ office and Wade, amounting to approximately $1 million in taxpayer funds, constitutes a direct conflict of interest. In addition to perjury, it now appears that there is a substantial chance that Willis’ decision to hire Wade during an ongoing romantic relationship compromised the fairness and impartiality the law demands.

Fani Willis gets desperate.
Willis responds to the affair cell data by claiming her calendars/emails prove she wasn't with Wade.
There's a big problem.
The hook-ups took place on Sept 11-12 and Nov 30 of 2021.
The calendars/emails aren't for those dates. (See examples.)

Moreover, the narrative gets more complex with the testimony of Robin Bryant-Yeartie, a former colleague of Willis, who asserted that the duo’s romantic involvement dates back to as early as 2019.
The question is no longer just about the nature of the prosecution team’s personal relationships but about transparency, honesty and the rule of law. If the judge in the case determines that Wade and Willis have deliberately lied to the court, legal experts predict the case should be doomed along with their professional careers.
