Recent reveIations surrounding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis have intensified her controversy. Documents obtained by the Daily Caller have brought to light that Willis paid Nathan Wade, her alleged romantic partner, a significantly higher hourly rate for work on the racketeering case against former President Trump compared to John Floyd, a recognized expert on RICO statutes in Georgia.
Floyd, known for his extensive knowIedge and experience in the field, was contracted at a rate of $150 per hour, whereas Wade, appointed as a special prosecutor, was compensated at $250 per hour.
In response to the allegations, Willis has defended her decision, asserting that all special counsels in the Trump case were paid the same rate. She also suggested that the criti cisms directed at Wade were racially motivated.
The professional services agreement between the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and John Floyd, which outIined Floyd’s engagement terms and compensation, corroborates the reported financial arrangements and adds to the controversy. The Fulton Country district attorney is prosecuting Trump and 17 other individuals with racke teering charges alleging they attempted to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
Filings by Wade’s wife in the divorce case accuse him of hiding his $700,000 income from her, Ieaving their joint bank account “routinely overdrawn” despite “the clear inequity in financial circumstances. The wife has been a stay-at-home mom for 20 years and relied on Wade at that time for financial support.
