Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her ex-lover, Nathan Wade, have both been referred to the Georgia State Bar for ethics violations. The pair face two complaints lodged by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a government watchdog group.
The group alleges Wade lied under oath about his relationship with Willis and that Willis admitted to using campaign funds for personal use on the witness stand. The AAF requests the opening of disciplinary proceedings against the pair for violations of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct.
In her February 15, 2024 testimony, Willis detailed her use of cash without bank or transaction receipts and her reimbursement of Wade. The AAF argues this “admission” signifies a clear violation of Georgia Campaign Finance law. The group also alleges Willis willfully broke the law, depriving Georgia citizens of their right to exercise effective oversight.
The watchdog also accuses Wade of lying under oath during his divorce proceedings. He claimed he did not have sexual relations with anyone, including Willis, outside of his marriage. The AAF complaint states his answers were dishonest, fraudulent, deceitful, and misrepresented the truth. Willis and Wade have yet to comment in response to the allegations.
Last week, Willis was sued for illegally concealing records of communications with the White House regarding her RICO case against former President Donald Trump.
