A top prosecutor leading the election interference case against Donald Trump in Georgia has allegedly left his estranged wife “without any means of financial support” while splurging on “lavish trips” for himself and his boss, Fani Willis.
Nathan Wade, who has been married for 26 years and shares two adult children with his wife, Joycelyn, filed for divorce in Cobb County, outside Atlanta, in November 2021, according to court records.
The filings in the ongoing case have been sealed since February 2022.
The former couple’s marriage came under the spotlight on Monday when Michael Roman, a former Trump 2020 campaign official, filed a bombshell motion that claimed Wade and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis traveled together to vacation destinations including Florida, Napa Valley and the Caribbean.
The details of their alleged lifestyles are apparently a far cry from those of Joycelyn Wade.
The ex-wife claimed in a motion for expenses filed last month and obtained by The Post that Wade has left her with next to nothing, despite him having earned more than $650,000 in legal fees from the Trump case alone since 2022.
That court filing alleges that Joycelyn is in “dire need of financial support” because she is unemployed after having been a “stay-at-home mom for 26 years” and has “no access to marital funds.”
In the documents obtained by The Post, Joycelyn claims that Wade had habitually deposited $700 bi-weekly into a joint account for household expenses but was now tapping into that for his own use and sending it into overdraft.
“While earning such substantial sums, (Wade) has provided nearly nothing to (Joycelyn) for her support and survival and has often caused (her) bank account to be in overdraft,” the motion reads.
According to the documents, Joycelyn is seeking temporary spousal support and interim attorney fees.
Meanwhile, though no proof has emerged, Wade has come under fire after allegedly being romantically linked to Willis — who brought election interference charges against Trump and his 18 co-defendants and hired Wade to prosecute them.
Roman argued in his court filing that Willis should be disqualified from the case and the charges against him dropped because of her alleged “improper, clandestine personal relationship” with Wade.
“Willis and Wade have engaged in a personal relationship both before and after Willis appointed Wade as the special prosecutor in the instant case,” it claims.
“Willis and Wade were romantically involved prior to Willis awarding a contract for legal services with Wade. It is not entirely clear when the relationship began, but it began while Wade was married.”
He further claimed in the motion that Willis’ failure to disclose her alleged relationship with Wade while paying him for his work on the Trump case — funds that he also allegedly used to pay for lavish vacations with the DA — could amount to honest services fraud as well as “a predicate act which could result in a RICO charge against both the district attorney and the special prosecutor,” referring to Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
“While the filings in the divorce case are sealed by Court order (the legality of which is open to question), information obtained outside of court filings indicates that the district attorney and special prosecutor have traveled personally together to such places as Napa Valley, Florida and the Caribbean and the special prosecutor has purchased tickets for both of them to travel on both the Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise lines,” it states.
“Traveling together to such places as Washington, D.C. or New York City might make sense for work purposes in light of other pending litigation, but what work purpose could only be served by travel to this traditional vacation destinations?”
He also alleged in the filing that Wade and Willis have been seen in private together in the Atlanta area and are “believed to have co-habited in some form or fashion at a location owned by neither of them.”
Wade, his estranged wife and the Fulton County DA’s Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
Trump and Roman were both hit with racketeering charges in Willis’ case against them and other co-defendants under Georgia’s RICO Act.
Roman served as the Trump re-election campaign’s director of Election Day operations in 2020.
In the wake of the former president’s 2020 loss, Roman allegedly joined an effort to put forward slates of pro-Trump “fake electors” to reject President-elect Joe Biden’s victories in key swing states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Nevada.
