Federal authorities have reportedly served a grand jury subpoena for the travel logs of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the prosecutor overseeing the election interference case against former President Trump in Georgia.
The subpoena is focused on travel details around the autumn of 2024, coinciding with the presidential election period, as reported by the New York Times on Friday.
This inquiry is being conducted under the auspices of the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, led by Theodore S. Hertzberg.
It remains unclear the full extent of the investigation or if Willis is considered a target.
Trump, along with 18 others, was indicted in 2023 in connection with an alleged effort to overturn the narrow election result he experienced in Georgia against Joe Biden in 2020.
At 53 years old, Willis was dismissed from the extended racketeering case last December based on concerns of “appearance of impropriety” related to her relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she chose to handle the case.
The Georgia Supreme Court denied Willis’ attempt to regain her position on the case last week.
The revelation of the relationship between Wade and Willis emerged in January 2024, when co-defendant Michael Roman sought to have the charges against him dismissed, arguing that the relationship between the special prosecutor and the DA was “improper” and “clandestine.”
Wade initiated his divorce proceedings on November 1, 2021, merely a day after he was employed by Willis.
Records from banks and court documents regarding Wade’s divorce assert that he covered luxurious vacations for both of them in 2022 and 2023, which included cruises with Norwegian and Royal Caribbean, as well as trips to Napa Valley, Miami, and Aruba.
During these years, the special prosecutor received approximately $654,000 in legal fees from the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for his efforts in the Trump case, according to official records.
The notice regarding the subpoena for Willis’ travel information emerged just a day after former FBI Director James Comey faced indictment by a federal grand jury on accusations of making misleading statements and obstruction related to his congressional testimony in September 2020.
“We are unaware of any ongoing investigation,” stated Jeff DiSantis, a spokesperson for Willis, in comments to the New York Times.
Requests for comments from the Justice Department, US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office went unanswered by The Post.
