A GOP-led U.S. House panel previously subpoenaed Wade as part of an investigation into his alleged romantic and financial relationship with Willis.

House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan on Monday released the transcript of closed-door testimony from Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to help manage her office’s Donald Trump election interference case before coming under scrutiny for his romantic-financial relationship with Willis.ย 

Wade testified that Willis was planning to prosecute Trump and began discussing a search committee to find a special prosecutor to investigate the former president prior to assuming office in January 2021. 

Wade served on that search committee, which was instated on day one of Willisโ€™ term in January 2021. After an unsuccessful search, Wade was ultimately invited to assume the role himself, which he claimed he reluctantly accepted. 

โ€œAnd so the search committee, you said that began when DA Willis took office on January 1, 2021. Is that correct?โ€ investigators asked. 

โ€œYes,โ€ Wade replied. 

โ€œAnd was there outreach to you to be part of the search committee prior to January 1, 2021?โ€

โ€œAbsolutely,โ€ he confirmed, saying the outreach began โ€œSometime after the election, but prior to her taking office.โ€

The transcript of Wade’s deposition Tuesday was released by Jordan’s committee a week after the interview. The GOP-led committee subpoenaed Wade as part of an investigation into his relationship with Willis. Last year, Willis indicted Trump and 18 codefendants in Georgia over their alleged efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in the state.

Wade resigned from the case in March after a Georgia judge made his stepping aside a condition of allowing Willis to remain on the case after evidence of an improper financial and romantic relationship emerged between them.
