Overview
- Wade told the Senate subcommittee that no one at the White House, the Justice Department, or the Jan. 6 committee directed or pressured the Georgia prosecution.
- Questioned about billing entries suggesting contact with the Jan. 6 panel and DOJ, he repeatedly said he could not recall dates, participants, or discussions tied to trips, calls, or meetings.
- Committee chair Greg Dolezal said the hearing established there was some contact with federal investigators, while Wade’s attorney called claims of coordination to target President Trump “absolute fiction.”
- Under a prearranged limit, senators avoided Wade’s relationship with DA Fani Willis and instead probed his hiring, invoices, and how the investigative team worked.
- The inquiry continues after courts removed Willis for an appearance of impropriety and a successor prosecutor abandoned the case later dismissed on Nov. 26, with fee disputes ongoing and Deputy DA Jeff DiSantis also testifying.
