Former President Donald Trump on Friday submitted a request to enter new evidence in his Georgia election interference case based off Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade's cellphone records, which the filing claims show that Wade visited the home of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis approximately 35 times during an 11-month period in 2021.
The records could be used to dispute Willis and Wade's claims about their relationship timeline.
The new filing from Trump comes in the wake of an evidentiary hearing over efforts to disqualify Willis and Wade from the case, during which both Willis and Wade testified under oath last week that their romantic relationship did not begin until after Wade was officially hired in November 2021, and that the relationship started in 2022.

Is that bad?
According to Trump's new filing, the cellphone records also show that Wade exchanged thousands of calls and text messages with Willis in 2021.
The investigator, Charles Mittelstadt, claimed he analyzed "all interactions" between Wade and Willis's phone during this time, which he said revealed over 2,000 calls and nearly 12,000 texts messages during that 11-month period -- most of which would likely have been before Wade was hired.
During the evidentiary hearing last week, Wade specifically disputed allegations he had gone to Willis' house frequently in 2021.
"No sir," he replied, when asked by Trump's attorney Steve Sadow if had gone to Willis' condo "more than 10 times" before November 2021.
"It would be less than 10 times?" Sadow asked.
"Yes sir," Wade replied.
"If phone records were to reflect that you were making phone calls from the same location as the condo before November 1st of 2021, and it was on multiple occasions, the phone records would be wrong?" Sadow asked.
"They'd be wrong," Wade answered later.
