ATLANTA - A story in the Daily Mail, which includes video footage of a
couple at Los Angeles International Airport who appear to be Fulton
County District Attorney Fani Willis and former special prosecutor
Nathan Wade, is causing a stir on social media.

According to the Daily Mail, which is a British tabloid newspaper, the
video was taken on Tuesday. It shows a man and woman dressed casually,
lugging their suitcases through the departures area of the airport,
exiting a restaurant, and preparing to board a plane.

The footage – if it was recorded on Tuesday – casts serious doubt on
their previous claims that their personal relationship ended two years
ago.

EXCLUSIVE: Scandal-plagued couple whose affair rocked election seen
together for first time since https://trib.al/iM0Vb2M

What we know:
Their relationship came to light after Willis appointed Wade as a
special prosecutor in the Georgia 2020 election interference case
against President Trump and 18 of his allies. One of those allies later
filed a motion accusing the pair of improper behavior and financial gain
from the case.

During a drama-filled hearing in Fulton County, the court was presented
with text messages and documentation that established their affair, as
well as records of out-of-town trips. Although Willis eventually
admitted to a "personal relationship" with Wade, she claimed it did not
become romantic until 2022 and that the relationship ended in early
2023. Both Willis and Wade denied benefiting in any way from the
prosecution of Trump.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee eventually ruled that
the Fulton County District Attorney's Office could continue prosecuting
the case if either Willis or Wade stepped aside. A few hours later, Wade submitted his resignation.

Trump's legal team was not satisfied with that resolution. The
controversy surrounding the affair eventually led to Willis being
removed as a prosecutor in the Trump case in December.

Since the personal relationship was revealed, Willis has been the target
of multiple investigations.

The U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary has been investigating Willis
and Wade for months.

In addition, a Georgia Senate committee was formed to investigate
Willis. The committee, recently reauthorized to probe allegations of misconduct, is seeking enforcement of a legislative subpoena against
Willis, arguing that she has waived objections and failed to
substantiate her privilege claims. A court previously denied her
petition for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief.

Willis has agreed to provide certain documents related to the election interference case, but disputes remain unresolved, and the court has yet
to rule on the committee's motion to compel her testimony.

The Georgia Senate Special Committee met at 8 a.m. Wednesday to father
discuss the matter. Following the conclusion of the meeting, Sen. Bill
Cowsert, who leads the committee, was asked if he was aware Willis was currently traveling with Wade.

Cowsert replied, "People have travel plans. It doesn't matter if she's traveling with Mr. Wade or her mother or anybody else. That's not our
concern, our business, and I'm sure she may have some time off." He went
on to say that he was not going to judge her or criticize her for the
purpose of her travel and said the most important thing was for her to
give the committee a time when she's going to be in Atlanta and able to testify.

What they're saying:
Many people are reacting to the video on social media. Posters are
saying that the pair never broke up and are accusing the district
attorney of lying under oath and committing perjury. Some posters are
even calling for President Trump to launch an investigation into Willis.

The backstory:
Trump and his co-defendants were indicted by a grand jury in August 2023
for violating the state's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
(RICO) Act as part of their efforts to overturn the election.

The 98-page indictment detailed efforts to pressure election workers and featured Trump's infamous phone call to Secretary of State Brad
Raffensperger, in which he asked him to "find 11,780 votes."

2023

At this time, it is unknown what will happen with the case against the president and the remaining co-defendants (several have already entered
guilty pleas).

The other side:
FOX 5 Atlanta reached out to Willis' office on Tuesday after becoming
aware of the video and is making additional attempts to reach her or the spokesperson for the Fulton County District Attorney's office today.
