According to the filing, Willis hired a partner, special counsel Nathan Wade, to prosecute Trump and used funds his law firm received to handle the case to help the two men. He reportedly benefited financially from the relationship in the form of lavish vacations.
According to county records, Mr. Wade has been paid about $654,000 in legal fees since January 2022, an amount the district attorney (in this case Mr. Willis) approved.
