Federal investigators have reportedly issued a grand jury subpoena for the travel records of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the Atlanta prosecutor who led the Georgia election interference case against President Trump.
The subpoena seeks details related to Willis’ travel in the fall of 2024, around the time of the presidential election, the New York Times reported on Friday.
The investigation is being run out of the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, led by Theodore S. Hertzberg.
The scope of the investigation, and whether Willis is a target, is unclear.
Trump and 18 others were indicted in 2023 in connection with an alleged scheme to overturn the president’s narrow 2020 election loss in Georgia to Joe Biden.
Willis, 53, was booted from the sprawling racketeering and influence case last December by the Georgia Court of Appeals, which cited the “appearance of impropriety” over her affair with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she tapped to lead the case.
Last week, the Georgia Supreme Court denied Willis’ bid to get back on the case.
The romance between Wade and Willis surfaced in January of 2024, when Trump co-defendant Michael Roman asked to have the criminal charges against him dismissed on the grounds of an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship between the special prosecutor and the DA.
Wade filed for divorce from his ex-wife on Nov. 1, 2021, one day after he was hired by Willis.
Bank records and court filings related to Wade’s divorce case show he paid for lavish vacations with Willis in 2022 and 2023, including Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruises and trips to Napa Valley, Miami and Aruba.
The special prosecutor was paid roughly $654,000 in legal fees from the Fulton County DA’s Office for his work those years on the Trump case, records show.
The report of the subpoena for Willis’ travel records comes one day after former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of making false statements and obstruction, related to testimony he provided Congress in September 2020.
“We have no knowledge of any investigation,” Jeff DiSantis, a spokesman for Willis, told the New York Times.
The Justice Department, US Attorney’s Office for the North District of Georgia and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
