The storm of scandal continues to batter Nathan Wade, former Fulton County special prosecutor, now accused of shirking his duty—not just to his position but to his own blood. Wade, who led the charge to indict former President Trump on election interference charges, is under fire for alledgedly failing to pay for vital medical treatments for his ex-wife, Joycelyn, and refusing to provide financial support for his children, this according to legal documents filed in the Superior Court of Cobb County, as The New York Post reports.
Joycelyn Wade painted a dire picture of her circumstances in the suit; she detailed her severe physical symptoms which affect her consumption of food and claimed she was left hanging for an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound that are greatly needed—and which Nathan had previously assured would be paid for. Her plight is echoed by the needs of their two children, who also seem to be cut adrift, with Nathan reportedly instructing his son to find his own means to support his budding soccer career in Europe, and his daughter to figure out her own rent, imperiling her own dreams of medical school, as recounted by FOX 5 Atlanta.
The backdrop of these familial allegations is a roiled political drama involving a resigned Wade and Fani Willis, Fulton County's District Attorney, who, despite their denials of benefiting financially from their roles in the Trump election interference case, still became entangled in accusations of bias due to an alleged affair. According to the charges, this perceived conflict of interest led to the resignation of Wade just hours after a judge ruled either he or Willis would need to step down for the case to continue.
Wade's legal woes compound with Jocelyn's filing in Cobb County, underscoring her claims that she is on the brink due to the urgent medical procedures, while contending with the additional financial burdens of two children abruptly left unsupported who are without their father’s promised aid for education and shelter, she's left to scrape together funds on a less than $1,000 a month income, with her health declining to the point where work is no longer viable according to The New York Post.
This legal and financial morass comes at a time when scrutiny is already high after the high-profile actions of Wade in his capacity as special prosecutor, actions that have become entwined with the domestic sphere, where responsibility seems to have been evaded, according to the documents obtained.
