Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was seen at the scene of her daughter Kinaya's arrest alongside her former lover, Nathan Wade.

Recent bodycam footage of the arrest incident, which took place on Aug. 24, has brought renewed attention to the controversial relationship between Willis and Wade, despite their claims that the affair ended last year, as the New York Post reports.

The footage shows Willis and Wade arriving together after Kinaya, 25 and pregnant, was arrested for driving on a suspended license.

Kinaya was initially pulled over for using a cell phone while driving and later taken to Fayette County Jail. The appearance of Willis and Wade at the scene, along with their casual demeanor, has sparked questions about the nature of their current relationship.

Willis And Wade Arrive Together Amid Arrest

The D.A.'s daughter was stopped by officers after she was seen using a cell phone while driving, which led to the discovery that her license had been suspended. Despite this, both Kinaya and her mother Fani Willis claimed they were unaware of the suspension. Kinaya, who was in the car with her sister Nia, told officers that she had been using her phone to speak with her mother about her pregnancy when the arrest occurred.

Willis and Wade arrived together at the scene in a black Ford SUV, though their arrival came after Kinaya had already been taken to jail. They stayed at the scene for approximately five minutes before leaving separately, with Willis departing in a silver Nissan Altima and Wade driving away in the vehicle in which they had arrived. During the interaction, Willis requested that her home address be left out of the police report.

Controversial Relationship Reignites Scrutiny

The appearance of Wade alongside Willis at the arrest scene has revived scrutiny of their previous relationship, which became a point of contention during the Trump election interference case. Wade, a former prosecutor, joined Willis’ team months after the affair began, a detail that did not go unnoticed by those involved in the high-profile case.

Trump and his co-defendants moved to disqualify Willis from the case, citing her relationship with Wade as a conflict of interest. However, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could remain on the case as long as Wade stepped down, a condition with which Wade quickly complied.

Affair Allegations Continue to Surface

Willis and Wade have maintained that their romantic relationship ended last year, long before the bodycam footage was recorded. Nonetheless, their quick arrival and informal appearance at the scene of Kinaya’s arrest have led to renewed speculation about their current involvement. When asked by officers if Wade was Kinaya's father, Willis reportedly described him as “just a friend.”

This is not the first time that Willis’ personal life has intersected with her professional responsibilities. As the lead prosecutor in the Trump case, Willis has faced significant scrutiny from both political opponents and the media. The affair with Wade, despite their testimony that it has ended, has only added to the controversy surrounding her office.

Arrest Raises Questions About DA's Knowledge

During the arrest, Kinaya claimed that she was unaware her license had been suspended and that her use of the cell phone while driving was prompted by a call from her mother. Willis echoed her daughter's statement, telling officers that the suspension was “news to” her.

Kinaya was taken into custody and transported to Fayette County Jail shortly before her mother and Wade arrived. The bodycam footage showed that the two remained on the scene for only a brief time before departing in separate vehicles. As of Wednesday morning, the DA’s office has not responded to requests for comment on the incident.

Previous Legal Fallout from Affair

The affair between Willis and Wade first came to light when Trump’s legal team attempted to use their relationship as grounds to disqualify her from leading the election interference case. Wade’s involvement in the case led to accusations of bias, though the court ultimately allowed Willis to continue as prosecutor once Wade stepped down.

While Wade has since left the case, the recent bodycam footage and their joint appearance at Kinaya’s arrest have reignited questions about the extent of their relationship and whether it has any bearing on Willis' ongoing work.

Trump’s Trial Still Delayed Amid Appeals

As of now, the trial date for Trump’s election interference case remains in limbo due to his ongoing appeal to disqualify Willis. The timing of the recent footage is likely to add a layer of intrigue to an already contentious legal battle, though it remains unclear whether it will impact the outcome of Trump’s appeal.

Despite the mounting questions, both Willis and Wade have avoided addressing the renewed scrutiny over their past relationship. Requests for comment made to the D.A.'s office, Wade, and Willis have gone unanswered.

Conclusion

The appearance of Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis and former prosecutor Nathan Wade at the arrest scene of Willis’ daughter Kinaya has reignited controversy over their past affair, despite claims that the relationship ended last year.

Bodycam footage captured their arrival after Kinaya was arrested for driving on a suspended license, further fueling speculation about the nature of their current relationship.

While Willis and Wade continue to deny any ongoing romantic involvement, their proximity during this incident has raised fresh questions in light of the Trump case, where their previous affair was used as grounds to attempt to disqualify Willis as lead prosecutor.
