Federal agents have reportedly issued a substantial subpoena for the travel records of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who spearheaded the Georgia election interference case against President Trump.
The subpoena aims to gather information regarding Willis’s travel in the fall of 2024, which coincides with the presidential election, as reported by the New York Times on Friday.
This investigation is being conducted by a U.S. law firm in the Northern District of Georgia under Theodore S. Hertzberg.
Details about the purpose of the inquiry remain unclear, and it’s uncertain if Willis herself is the focus of the investigation.
Willis had faced significant challenges in her involvement in the Trump case, being removed from it last December by the Georgia Court of Appeals due to what was termed “the appearance of fraud” related to her connection with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she had appointed.
Just last week, the Georgia Supreme Court rejected Willis’s attempt to reclaim her role in the case.
The relationship between Wade and Willis became public knowledge in January 2024, after Trump’s co-defendant Michael Roman called for the dismissal of charges against himself, citing concerns over what he deemed an “inappropriate” and “secret” relationship between the two.
Wade had initiated divorce proceedings from his ex-wife on November 1, 2021, right after he began working for Willis.
Records reveal that Wade financed a lavish vacation with Willis during 2022 and 2023, and he was awarded approximately $654,000 in legal fees from the Fulton County office for services rendered in the Trump case.
The report concerning the subpoena for Willis’s travel records came just a day after former FBI director James Comey faced trial over allegations of false statements and obstruction related to his 2020 congressional testimony.
“We don’t have any inquiries at this time,” remarked Willis’s spokesman Jeff DiSantis in a statement to the New York Times.
Neither the Department of Justice nor the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia has commented on the matter. The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office also did not respond to inquiries from the Post.
