Flight Details of Fulton County District Attorney and Chief Prosecutor in Trump Case Subpoenaed from Delta Airlines
Delta Airlines has been caught in the middle of a legal battle involving Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, the chief prosecutor in former President Donald Trump’s election fraud case in Georgia. The pair took a trip to Napa Valley, California in May 2023, and now their flight details have been subpoenaed by lawyers for one of Trump’s co-defendants, Michael Roman.
The case against Trump and 18 others, including Roman, stems from alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and claims the case is politically motivated. Roman, a former Trump staffer, has also pleaded not guilty to similar charges.
Delta Airlines recently handed over the flight records to the court, which were submitted “in camera,” meaning the public and media were not present during the handover. Trump’s attorney and Delta Airlines were sought for comment, as well as Roman’s attorney.
The attorneys for Trump and Roman are trying to establish a relationship between Willis and Wade before the case, suggesting that Willis hired Wade because of that relationship. The judge overseeing the case ordered the Delta records to be sealed.
It was revealed during court hearings that Willis and Wade flew Delta to San Francisco and stayed at a hotel in Napa Valley, with Wade paying for the flight tickets. Testimony from a witness indicated that the pair spent time together tasting wine and that Willis paid in cash.
The lawyers for Trump and Roman are digging into Willis and Wade’s travel history, aiming to prove improper benefits from their relationship. They are also looking into the pair’s payment methods to avoid leaving an electronic record.
In a twist, Roman’s lawyer submitted evidence of Willis and Wade flying to Miami and Aruba together, sharing a “king-sized bed” during their trip. The legal battle continues as more details emerge about the relationship between the prosecutors and their travels.
