Nathan Wade is served subpoena in congressional Fani Willis probe after evading service for nearly a week: ‘Extremely unusual’

Former Donald Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade was served a congressional subpoena Thurs﷽day after evading service of the summons for nearly a week. 

The House Judiciary Committee issued the subpoena against Wade last Friday, demanding that he provide closed-door tes🎶timony as part of the Republican-led panel’s investigation into Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis’ prosecution of the former president.

Wade, who was forced off the Trump case after his workplace romance with Willis came to light, ℱapparently went into hiding after the subpoena was issued, refusing to accept service until Thursday, a source familiar told The Post. 

Six days after the subpoena was issued by the committee, Wade called the US Marshals and finally made an appointment for service,൩ ending the standoff, thꦓe source said. 

Earlier this week, a spokesperson for the committee characterized Waꦜde’s evasion as “extremely unusual.”&n🥂bsp;

“The Judiciary Committee has served over 100 subpoenas this Congress. We have done so, for the most part, without controversy or the need to use the US Marshals,” Russell Dye, a spokesman for the committee, said in a statement. “Nathan Wade’s evasion of service is extremely unusual and will require the Committee to spend US tax dollars to locate him.”

The spokesperson that since last Friday, Wade’s lawyer had declined accepting service of the subpoena and that Wade himself was unresponsive to the committee’s em﷽ails. 

“As a result the committee had to use the assistance of the US Marshals, who have also not been able to find Nathan Wade,” Dye said Wednesday. 

The subpoena called for Wade to provide testimony on Thursday, which will need t♚o be resche🔜duled due to the delay. 

House Judiciary Com♛mittee Chairman Jim Jordan’s subpoena for Wade comes after tꦇhe Georgia lawyer refused to appear for a voluntary interview last week after previously agreeing to it. 

In a letter, Jordan (R-Ohio) revealed that Wade canceled on the committee because of instrღuctions he received from Willis’ attorney. 

“The eleventh-hour intervention from District Attorney Willಌis does not excuse your failure to appear for your transcribed interview,” in a missive to Wade last Friday.

Wade was hired by Willis to lead the Trump probe investigation on Nov. 1, 2021 — one day before he filed for divorce from his wife.

During a series of public hearings examining whether their relationship was a confl♍ict of interest, Wade testified that their tryst started 2022 and ended in June or July 2023.

He was adamant that he’d had no personal oꦰr intimate relationship with the embattled DA prior to being brought into the Trump case.🍨 

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ultimately ruled that Willis could remain on the case as long as her former 🎃lover stepped down, which he did. 

Willis’ sprawling racketeering case against Trump has been on pause since June, while the Georg🐻ia Court of Appeals weighs the former presid🉐ent’s effort to disqualify the district attorney. 

The Judiciary Committee is investigating whether Willis’ case against Trump is politica♛lly motivated.
