At the end of a seven-day manhunt ran by U S Marshals, Nathan Wade, the former Fulton County investigator and boyfriend of District Attorney Fani Willis, was arrested and served the subpoena for his testimony in the House Judiciary Committee’s investigation into Willis’s probe of Donald Trump. They tried to serve him four times, including at his home on Wednesday, before finding him Thursday evening.
Just days ago, Wade had been identified as one of the central figures in the Georgia voter fraud case against Trump, in relation to which he allegedly violated state laws to try to overturn the results of the election, interfere with the administration of the election, and, in his capacity as a lawyer for Trump’s campaign, commit fraud and manipulation of evidence. According to the Fulton County criminal district attorney, Fani Willis, there are at least 16 cases still active, relating to voter interference and election fraud. Early on Wednesday, the Fox News host Jesse Watters reported that the US Marshals were called in after ‘several attempts … to serve Wade’s subpoena fell short’. According to a statement from the committee spokesperson Russell Dye: ‘Wade for weeks has ignored our attempts to serve him, first with a delivery to his business, then through his counsel.
What the committee is investigating is Willis’s prosecutorial practices and the alleged improper connections between Wade and Willis, aspects of the Trump indictment that have long animated critics of the case. The veteran lawyer Alan Dershowitz, a frequent critic of prosecutorial overreach, has described Willis’s efforts in relation to Wade as ‘among the worst crimes ever committed by a prosecutor’. Wade’s testimony is especially important if the accusations are true, given Suarez’s contention that she is just one of a series of questionable prosecutorial moves on the part of District Attorney Willis.
Wade was finally served on Thursday, a day before his scheduled testimony, which will take place in secret. It’s a long way from a purely political legal case against Trump.
