Trump submits cellphone records allegedly showing Nathan Wade and Fani Willis' interactions before hiring [View all]

Former President Donald Trump on Friday submitted a request to enter new evidence in his Georgia election interference case based off Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade's cellphone records, which the filing claims show that Wade visited the home of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis approximately 35 times during an 11-month period in 2021.

The records could be used to dispute Willis and Wade's claims about their relationship timeline.

The new filing from Trump comes in the wake of an evidentiary hearing over efforts to disqualify Willis and Wade from the case, during which both Willis and Wade testified under oath last week that their romantic relationship did not begin until after Wade was officially hired in November 2021, and that the relationship started in 2022.

"I don't consider my relationship to be romantic with him before that," Willis testified regarding Wade's hiring.

So why did this report mysteriously not get completed till the trial was over?

It feels 2000-Mules-ish to me.

The Washington Post has added some important context here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/02/23/fani-willis-nathan-wade-cellphone-data/
"The data does not definitively prove that Wade was visiting Willis -- or, if he was, what happened during those visits. The Hapeville area where Willis rented the condo is a busy commercial stretch adjacent to the Atlanta airport, filled with restaurants and major highways. It is also among the more densely populated, predominantly Black neighborhoods in the region and is home to a concentration of businesses that are open late, including bars, night clubs and strip clubs.

"It's unknown how large of an area Trump's investigator examined around the condo. He explained in his affidavit that he drew the data from two cellphone towers, one 2,000 feet from the condo and the other about 3,000 away. An area many thousands of feet across could capture large swaths of territory well beyond Willis's former condo."

On Friday, lawyers for the D.A.'s office were trying to find their own expert witnesses who would be able to counter what the Trump lawyers have asserted, according to the source. Their hope is to be able to file a response as early as Friday or this weekend.

"The interpretation of the data is not what you think it is," the source told CBS News.
