Nathan Wade appears to have made far more visits to the neighborhood of Fulton County,
Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis than previously admitted in court.

A Friday filing from the attorney of former President Trump claims to show at least 35
visits by Wade to the Hapeville neighborhood before he was hired.

Wade testified last week that he did not visit Willis' condo more than 10 times before being
hired in November 2021. Willis and Wade maintain that their relationship began in early
2022.

Willis hired Wade in 2021 to help prosecute her sweeping racketeering case against
Trump. Trump co-defendant Michael Roman alleged in court filings last month that Willis
should be disqualified from the case, claiming she financially benefited from hiring Wade
because of their personal relationship.

The date when the two lawyers' relationship began is key to the ongoing dispute brought
by Trump's attorneys, who argue that their romantic fling compromised the integrity of the
case.

The defense is trying to prove the existence and extent of any financial benefit to Willis
from Wade from their relationship , which is the crux of their argument that Willis should be
disqualified.

Cellphone data also seems to show that Wade twice traveled to Willis' apartment late at
night without leaving until the next morning.

Wade and Willis have both testified that they did not sleep together at the Hapeville condo.

"We are required to respond to the filing via the court, and we are preparing a response
now," a spokesperson for Willis said of the Friday filing, according to the Atlanta Journal-

Courthouse in Atlanta. (Getty Images)

The Friday affidavit asserts that cellphone data shows Willis and Wade sharing more than
2,000 phone calls and just under 12,000 text messages in the first 11 months of 2021.

Judge Scott McAfee will now need to decide whether to admit the Friday affidavit and the
cellphone data it contains into evidence.
