Nathan Wade, one of the special prosecutors leading the Trump case, a hefty hourly rate that amounted to more than $650,000 in less than two years. While Willis’s scandal with Wade has overshadowed much of her other work, the district attorney has also faced questions,from Congress, about a whistleblower claim about her use of a $488,000 federal grant.
