Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' bad month is set to get a whole lot worse. The Black Panther's daughter has been subpoenaed to testify in her alleged lover's divorce case. Willis was accused in a Monday court filing of having "an improper‚ clandestine personal relationship" with Nathan Wade‚ a married man whom she ultimately appointed top prosecutor in former President Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case. The motion‚ filed on behalf of Michael Roman‚ a former Trump campaign official who is a co-defendant in Trump's case‚ accused the Democratic DA of various potentially criminal improprieties and stressed the need for both Willis and Wade to be disqualified from further prosecuting the case. This would hardly be Willis' first disqualification in recent years‚ having also been barred in 2022 from investigating Georgia's Republican lieutenant governor‚ Burt Jones. The Wall Street Journal reported that just prior to the filing of the damning motion‚ Willis was also subpoenaed to testify in the Cobb County divorce case for Wade‚ which the Washington Post indicated has turned sour. According to a court filing reviewed by the Journal‚ a process server turned up at Willis' Atlanta office Monday morning with a subpoena filed by the lawyer of Wade's estranged wife‚ Joycelyn Wade. The process server reportedly left the subpoena with Willis' executive assistant. The Journal indicated that Willis' office had yet to file a response as of Tuesday afternoon and that neither Nathan Wade nor his estranged wife had responded to requests for comment. Willis hired Wade in November 2021 without the approval of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners as required by law‚ according to the Monday motion filed on behalf of Roman. Willis said in a 2022 interview that she chose Wade because she needed "somebody I can go off on‚ and they can‚ like‚ wipe off their wounds and we can get back to work‚" reported the New York Times. Nathan Wade apparently filed for divorce one day after starting the contract position. Wade‚ leading the case against Trump in Georgia‚ was formerly a prosecutor in Cobb County‚ where he never prosecuted a felony case‚ according to the motion to disqualify. Newsweek noted that Wade ran three times to become a judge in Cobb County Superior Court between 2012 and 2016 and failed in all three instances. It appears he settled for prosecuting misdemeanors and traffic citations in Marietta‚ Georgia‚ from 2011 to 2021. The motion claims that "sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney have confirmed they had an ongoing‚ personal relationship during the pendency of the special prosecutor's divorce proceedings." The Monday motion further alleges that "according to these sources‚ the personal relationship between [Willis] and [Wade] began before this prosecution was initiated and before the district attorney appointed the special prosecutor." Willis and Wade are alleged to have gone on multiple luxurious vacations together at the married man's expense. The motion suggests this arrangement was especially problematic as Wade allegedly used Fulton County funds received by his law firm to pay for these trips — to Napa Valley and Florida as well as to the Caribbean. To complicate matters further‚ Willis authorizes Wade's compensation. Wade has reportedly been paid over $650‚000 in legal fees since January 2022. "Wade is being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to prosecute this case on her behalf‚" said the motion. "In turn‚ Wade is taking Willis on‚ and paying for vacations across the world with money he is being paid by the Fulton County taxpayers and authorized solely by Willis." The motion further alleged that Willis' "apparent intentional failure to disclose her conflict of interest to Fulton County and the Court‚ combined with her decision to employ the special prosecutor based on her own personal interests may well be an act to defraud the public of honest services since the district attorney 'personally benefitted from an undisclosed conflict of interest.'" While the Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted there is no definitive proof in the Roman motion of the affair besides the assertions by unnamed sources‚ Roman's lawyer‚ Ashleigh Merchant‚ indicated she found something of interest when reviewing the case file in Wade's ongoing divorce proceedings. Merchant made copies of documents from the divorce case said to contain proof that Wade and Willis traveled together but noted she must wait for a judge to unseal the case before sharing the information. The Journal indicated that as of Tuesday‚ Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee‚ overseeing Roman's case‚ had yet to schedule a hearing on Roman's motion. Andrea Hastings‚ a lawyer for Wade's estranged wife‚ indicated the subpoena requests that Willis testify at a deposition on Jan. 23‚ reported the Times. Like Blaze News?

A fully accredited private Christian school in Iowa recently announced that some of its staff members will be armed while on campus in an effort to protect teachers and students from active shooter events.Siouxland Christian School in Sioux City‚ Iowa‚ sent a letter to parents last week detailing the changes. The school’s superintendent‚ Lindsay Laurich‚ explained that the preschool-through-12th-grade institution has been working on training and arming staff for the past year. However‚ the superintendent noted that she did not arrive at the decision easily.In an active shooter situation‚ armed staff members‚ who will remain anonymous‚ have been trained to go directly toward the threat to allow teachers and students to get to a safe position while waiting for law enforcement to arrive on the scene. The school has not revealed how many school employees have opted to participate in the program. The armed staff members were selected by the school board and administration. In a letter sent home to parents‚ Laurich wrote‚ “It is an unfortunate reality that schools have become the target of those who wish to do evil. Around our nation and sadly more close to home we see threats emerging on a regular basis.”Just last week‚ a trans-identifying 17-year-old student at Perry Middle and High School in Perry‚ Iowa‚ opened fire on children and staff‚ resulting in the death of Ahmir Jolliff‚ an 11-year-old boy‚ Blaze News previously reported. Four other students and school employees were injured.Laurich addressed the recent shooting in her letter‚ stating‚ “We pray for the community of Perry‚ Iowa‚ which experienced an active shooter event yesterday.”She noted that it is “essential” for the school to take additional steps to protect its students and staff amid the increase in threats.“Starting next week‚ certain members of SCS staff who have been specifically trained will be armed on campus‚” Laurich added.The school consulted law enforcement‚ its insurance carriers‚ legal advisers‚ and industry experts when putting together the training. “The staff who have been selected and trained will remain anonymous‚ and with God’s help this layer of protection will never need to be deployed. We expect no changes to the day to day experiences of students and staff‚” Laurich told parents.“On a personal note‚ I want you to know that this decision was a difficult one‚” she continued. “When I entered the teaching profession it was unimaginable that someone would shoot students and teachers in a school. But the landscape has changed. If a tragic event were to occur at SCS‚ I need to be able to stand in front of you and say that we have done all that we can do. This is a necessary step we must take.”Laurich told Fox News Digital that since she sent the email to parents last week‚ there have been another four incidents and seven victims.“That adds up to more days than we have been back in school since the new year began‚” she stated.Like Blaze News?

The settlement comes over three years after Google and Apple banned X-Mode Social’s tracking software from their app stores. | Image: The Verge / Alex Castro The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has prohibited Outlogic‚ the massive US data broker formerly known as X-Mode Social‚ from selling or sharing sensitive information that can be used to track people’s locations as part of the regulator’s first data tracking settlement. The settlement is intended to resolve accusations made by the FTC that Outlogic “did not implement reasonable or appropriate safeguards” to prevent the location information it sold from being mishandled by third parties and potentially endangering consumers. According to the FTC‚ the data associated with mobile advertising that Outlogic sold to hundreds of clients wasn’t anonymized and was capable of tracking specific individuals to sensitive locations like domestic...
