They claim that this relationship constituted a conflict of interest, as Wade’s hiring by Willis’s office could have benefited financially from taxpayer funds.
Allegations of misuse of funds for personal trips have also surfaced, with claims that Wade billed taxpayers for vacations taken with Willis.
Both Willis and Wade denied any pre-existing romantic relationship and claim they shared the costs of their trips evenly.
Nevertheless, cell phone evidence presented in court contradicts their testimonies, suggesting that they were spending nights together years before Willis hired Wade. And they may have perjured themselves at the hearing.
As the legal battle continues, the case remains a focal point in the ongoing scrutiny of the 2020 election and its aftermath. The outcome of the appeal could have far-reaching implications for all parties involved.
