Special prosecutor Nathan Wade subpoenaed by House panel regarding relationship with DA Fani Willis

A GOP-led U.S. House panel subpoenaed former special prosecutor Nathan Wade as part of an investigation into his romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. 

The House Judiciary Committee was unable to find Wade for days, but on Thursday was able to subpoena him and require that he come to Washington, D.C., for a hearing, according to AJC Politics.

As of now there are no details about when the hearing will take place. 

Last year Willis indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants over their efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in Georgia.

A Trump co-defendant tried to have Willis removed upon learning she and Wade, whom she appointed as special prosecutor in the case, had a romantic relationship. 

Among the arguments was that Willis financially benefited from the deal, considering, in part, Wade was paying for them to take romantic vacations together out of the funds he was paid in the case.
