In a May 9 letter to Nathan Wade, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, demanded he schedule an “appearance for a transcribed interview with the committee” after failing to comply with previous requests for documents.
Wade previously led the so-called “election interference” prosecution against President Trump until he or his former lover, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, were ordered by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to resign from the case.
Jordan noted that a January 12 letter from the committee included requests for “six specific categories of documents” related to his time spent working for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.
He revealed that “the Committee received an unsolicited letter” from Willis on behalf of Wade. He pointed out that she “refused to provide the Committee with any responsive information and merely repeated arguments that the Committee has already considered and dismissed at length.”
Jordan told Wade, “There are serious concerns about your role in the politically motivated prosecution” brought by Willis. He highlighted how Wade had financially benefitted from the case, that he had allegedly made “almost seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000)” while working for Willis’s office “since May of 2022 alone.”
Jordan concluded the committee’s letter with a reiteration of the original document requests, giving Wade a new deadline of May 16.
The request for Wade’s testimony comes just days after a Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to hear President Trump and his codefendants’ appeal to disqualify Willis from prosecuting the case.
