Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones has issued a subpoena to Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against President Donald Trump, escalating a Republican-led investigation into the handling of the prosecution.
Jones announced the subpoena in a social media post, saying Wade is required to appear before a Georgia Senate committee on Friday.
“Fani Willis’ story didn’t match her boyfriend’s testimony. We’ve subpoenaed her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, to appear before our Senate committee next Friday so we can determine who is telling the truth,” Jones wrote.
“They’ve already wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and we need to get to the bottom of this prosecutorial misconduct,” he added.
The subpoena stems from controversy surrounding Willis’ relationship with Wade, whom she appointed as a special prosecutor in the sweeping racketeering case accusing Trump and others of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
