Fulton County District Attorney Fonny Willis and the prosecutor she hired to manage the election interference case against former President Trump are facing new concerns regarding the timing of their personal relationship. Recent cell phone records have emerged that could potentially contradict their claims.
New filings by Donald Trump's defense team suggest that the relationship between Willis and the prosecutor, Nathan Wade, may have started earlier than they had previously stated in court. Willis and Wade had asserted that their romantic involvement began in 2022 and had no impact on Wade's hiring in 2021.
However, the cell phone data reveals a significant amount of communication between the two parties. Over an 11-month period in 2021, there were approximately 2,000 voice calls and nearly 12,000 text messages exchanged, with a majority of the calls occurring during evening hours.
Furthermore, the data indicates that Wade visited Willis' condo in Hapeville, Georgia, at least 35 times before his official hiring. Wade had claimed that he visited the condo fewer than 10 times. In response to these revelations, the state has expressed a desire to present contradicting evidence if the cell phone data is admitted into the case.
The Trump team has raised concerns that Willis may have financially benefited from hiring Wade and is pushing for her disqualification. The decision on whether to allow the cell phone data as evidence will be pivotal in determining the course of the legal proceedings.
It remains to be seen how the judge will weigh the new information and its potential implications on the case. The evolving developments in this high-profile legal battle are closely watched by both supporters and critics of the individuals involved.
