The special committee of Georgia’s Republican Party-led Senate has subpoenaed former special prosecutor Nathan Wade in the ongoing investigation into Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
Additional testimony is expected in the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation into Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis after former special prosecutor Nathan Wade was subpoenaed.
On February 5, Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones spoke confirmed that The Republican Senate special committee has subpoenaed Wade, following a heated hearing last year in which lawmakers questioned Willis about her 2020 election probe and her romantic relationship with him, Fox 5 Atlanta reports. Jones said the committee aims to determine whether Willis or Wade were truthful under oath, arguing that alleged inconsistencies in their testimonies have already cost taxpayers significant time and money.
As a result, Wade has been ordered to appear before the Georgia Senate Special Investigative Committee on Friday, February 13, Jones revealed.
“Her story did not match her boyfriend’s testimony,” Jones said said in one Facebook video. “We have subpoenaed Nathan Wade so we can determine who is telling the truth.”
The special committee was established in January 2024 emerged from Willis’ prosecution of Donald Trump and 18 others for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. The Republican-led panel is charged with reviewing allegations of misconduct, focusing on Willis’ appointment of Wade as special prosecutor and whether their romantic relationship posed a conflict of interest or involved misuse of public funds.
Wade’s subpoena follows Willis’ December 2025 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which she denied any wrongdoing and defended her decision to hire him, saying her office needed experienced leadership amid an overwhelming workload. While she acknowledged their romantic relationship, Willis said it did not influence her decisions and did not involve wrongdoing, and defended Wade’s pay as compensation for his extensive work on the complex case. Jones said lawmakers believe there are discrepancies between Wade’s previous sworn testimony and Willis’ account.
Wade’s subpoena marks a major escalation for the Senate panel after a lengthy legal battle in which Willis previously ignored an earlier subpoena, arguing the committee lacked constitutional authority. The investigation stems from Willis’ high-profile 2023 RICO case against Trump and others, which later collapsed amid legal challenges related to her relationship with Wade.
After Willis was disqualified, a prosecutor dismissed the case in November 2025. Attention has since shifted to the federal level, where the Justice Department launched a new investigation in January 2026, leading to an FBI raid on Fulton County election offices and sparking a legal battle over seized documents.
