Fani Willis and Nathan Wade traveled together amid Trump probe, bank statements show

Bank records show Nathan Wade bought tickets for himself and alleged lover Fani Willis to fly to San Francisco in the midst of their probe into Donald Trump and election fraud in Georgia.

Wade was hired by Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, as a special prosecutor to bring charges against the former president and 18 others.

They have since been accused of having a romantic relationship, jeopardizing the integrity of the case, which appears to be backed up by the charges on Wade’s personal card.

As well as the flights, in May 2023 Wade ran up a bill of over $800 at the Doubletree Napa Valley American Canyon hotel, according to the filing by Wade’s estranged wife Jocelyn, seen by The Post.

The charges were made on Mother’s Day and showed a two-night stay at the Doubletree hotel, which is just eight miles from several posh Napa Valley wineries.

On Oct. 5, 2022, Wade also paid $477.21 for tickets to Miami for himself and his alleged lover.

Wade also charged a room at the Holiday Inn Express Atlanta on Oct. 9, 2022.

He also made purchases from 1-800-Flowers.com, according to the credit card statements. 

Another purchase around the same time for Royal Caribbean Cruises that cost $2,600, according to the filing, which Jocelyn’s lawyers say was another personal trip for Wade and Wills.

In November 2022, Wade also charged $3,172.20 to Norwegian Cruise Line and made charges at the Hyatt Regency resort in Aruba.

Allegations of the romance first surfaced last week when Trump co-defendant Mike Roman filed papers to have the criminal charges against him dismissed on the grounds of an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship between Willis and Nathan.

Roman said Wade — a private attorney with Atlanta-based Wade & Campbell — of using some of the nearly $654,000 in legal fees he collected from the Fulton County DA’s Office for his work on the Trump case to take Willis on getaways to “California, Florida and the Caribbean.”

The fililng from Jocelyn’s lawyers is the first time any evidence pointing to their relationship has been presented.

It was filed one day after Willis’ lawyers filed a motion seeking to get her out of sitting for a deposition in the divorce, filed in 2021 in Cobb County, Georgia.

They claimed she couldn’t offer relevant testimony in the divorce case and that the marriage was already over by 2017 — before she met Nathan — when Joycelyn admitted to sleeping with Wade’s friend.

The filing didn’t address the validity of the affair claims between Willis and Nathan.

Joycelyn’s lawyer fired back Friday, claiming Willis’ arguments for trying to wriggle out of the deposition are disingenuous and misleading.

Over the weekend, Willis said the affair accusations are racially motivated since the claims were mounted against she and Wade and not against the two other prosecutors on the case — who are both white.

Roman quickly shot back, explaining nothing had been mentioned of the other two prosecutors because neither had not been in a relationship with Willis.

Willis’ lawyer and lawyers for both Wades didn’t immediately return requests for comment Friday.
