‘♥ att’y’ deflects on drugs & booze
Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade was slammed for giving evasive answers about his alcohol, drug and medication use by his estranged wife’s attorneys, newly unsealed divorce documents show.
He has been embroiled in a contentious split from Joycelyn Wade since filing for divorce on Nov. 2, 2021. He filed the papers just one day after being appointed special prosecutor in the Trump election interference probe by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, with whom he is now said to be in a “clandestine” relationship, according to court filings.
Nathan repeatedly failed to fully answer basic questions and provide documentation requested by Joycelyn in the case — instead giving information that was “so woefully inadequate so as to be useless,” the ex-wife alleged in court papers from February 2023, which were unsealed by a judge Monday.
Joycelyn asked him to provide information about his alcohol usage, the brands of alcohol he drank and if he ever drove within an hour of drinking — to which he answered: “Red wine once a week at home with dinner,” her lawyers claimed in the filing.
When she asked if he had any drug use — both legal or illegal — Nathan responded: “no illegal drug use ever,” the court papers claimed, which Joycelyn’s lawyers said failed “to address any legal or prescription drug use at all.”
The lawyers noted that Nathan disclosed he’d taken pain medications and antibiotics after an April 2020 surgery but didn’t identify “which medications.”
Lawyers for both Nathan and Joycelyn Wade didn’t immediately return requests for comment Tuesday.
