Special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who stepped away from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump, is facing legal claims from his ex-wife, who says he’s refused to pay child support for their two adult children or to help pay for medical procedures she said she urgently needs.
Jocelyn Wade, in a new divorce filing, said her ex-husband’s refusal to hand over the payments, as agreed to in their divorce settlement, has left her family without money for rent or her medical issues, reported The New York Post.
“Defendant urgently requires medical procedures, namely an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound, due to severe physical symptoms she has been enduring,” a new filing in the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia. “These symptoms have significantly impacted her ability to consume most foods, leading to a substantial weight loss.”
The accusations come just weeks after Wade resigned as the lead prosecutor in the Georgia case against Trump, whose co-defendants accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of having an affair with him before hiring him as a team member, and of their misuse of state and federal funds.
Wade stepped down after when Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled in March that Willis and her office could only remain on the Trump case if Wade would agree to leave as special prosecutor.
The Wades reached a divorce settlement in January after being married for 26 years. Nathan Wade denied that he and Willis became involved romantically until he was brought into the Trump case.
