'Collusion': Fmr. prosecutor says his divorce lawyer leaked Willis relationship to Trump camp

Former Georgia special prosecutor Nathan Wade shares how his divorce proceedings became intertwined with the Donald Trump election interference case. Wade was forced by a judge to resign from Trump's election interference case so that DA Fani Willis could continue to prosecute Trump, after their relationship was exposed.

I rarely heard of politicians, DA’s, attorneys, election workers & judges having to hire bodyguards until trump entered the scene.

Hope Nathan Wade is suing his divorce lawyer for breach of client confidentiality.
P.S. I met my husband at work.

The judge, Scott McAfee, had erred in his ruling. There was nothing at law to rule on.
When Nathan Wade and Fani Willis started/had a relationship is irrelevant and not anyones business! So get over it!

[laurah]

Why isn't anyone investigating Wade's divorce attorney? Isn't this a code of ethics and attorney/client relationship

[sallylapradd]

I agree with Mr. Wade. This has no place in the court.

[sallylapradd]

There was no reason why Mr. Wade should have been disqualified.
The persecution of Fani Willis is disgusting.

[mstunameow]

What a kind and soft-spoken man. I like him a lot. Not what I expected.

[juelasejdo]

How can people be allowed to threaten others and get away with it. Why aren’t threats investigated?!

[lorraineortega]

Mr. Wade would be wise to pursue legal action against his divorce attorney (investigation could reveal much and validate his accusation)

[turnuiu]

Nice to hear from you Mr. Wade. What happened to you is completely wrong. Everyone should listen to Fani Willis' acceptance speech for winning her primary last year. She's a fierce, capable queen. We need more like her.

[cynthiameachum]

I agree with Nathan Wade. They should not have litigated that in the courtroom.

[RM-nmxn]

I Hope Fani and this gentleman can continue their story after Trump is gone from our national nightmare. Everyone deserves their shot at happiness.

[SheliaRPierre]

Mr Wade & Ms Willis Personal Romantic Business was not for the court house!

[claudellhaynes]

The judge made the wrong decisions. His divorce attorney belongs in prison.

[AKayt-nmyc]

Mr. Wade, I'm sorry this happened to you and your family

[green-user]

So scary...so sad. I cannot believe how brave Fani Willis is.

[vlif]

I'm sorry they both had to go through crap, for no reason. I respect him & Fanni.

[wweinmann]

It sounds like Nathan Wade's former law partner/divorce lawyer has ethics issues, including violating lawyer/client confidentiality.

[geondy]

I fully support the conviction of Trump in 2024, then sentence him to prison, and solitary confinement. Because that will Make America Great Again.

[spacemonkey]

Think about how isolating DA Willis’ lifestyle must be now. Constant threats, bodyguards...I can see how they got together. I still believe this wouldn’t have happened to a white male DA with the same circumstances.
