Nathan Wade Testifies in Trump Case Deposition in D.C

On October 15, 2024, Nathan Wade provided testimony to the House Judiciary Committee concerning his involvement as a special prosecutor in the Trump case. During his deposition, he emphasized that his work was not politically motivated and claimed he did nothing to compromise the integrity of the case. This testimony came after Wade's resignation in March, which was prompted by the revelation of his romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, leading to allegations of a conflict of interest. Wade's appearance before the committee followed months of controversy regarding the terms of his testimony and difficulties in serving him a subpoena. His attorney, Andrew Evans, was present during the deposition, but it remains unclear how cooperative Wade was during questioning. The committee plans to release a transcript of the deposition, which is expected to shed more light on Wade's statements and the ongoing investigation. The inquiry into Willis's prosecution of Trump has been a focal point for House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, a staunch Trump ally. Wade's relationship with Willis, which reportedly involved significant financial transactions, has raised questions about the propriety of his actions while serving as a prosecutor. As the investigation continues, Wade's testimony is seen as a critical element in assessing the legitimacy of the prosecution against Trump and his co-defendants, who are facing serious charges related to the 2020 election. The implications of this case could have far-reaching effects on the political landscape and the legal proceedings surrounding Trump.
