Nathan Wade talked to White House staff members in 2022, when he was seeking witnesses for the investigation into whether Donald J. Trump interfered in the 2020 election in Georgia.
Lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump are seeking more information about discussions Atlanta prosecutors had with the Biden White House, as well as with the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Mr. Trump has claimed for some time that the election interference case brought against him by Fani T. Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Ga., is tainted by ties to both entities. A legal filing this week from one of Mr. Trump’s co-defendants in the case provided new details about the contacts. The former president and 14 of his allies face racketeering and other charges in the inquiry.
It has been known since 2021, when Ms. Willis’s began her investigation, that she sought to make use of evidence gathered by the House Jan. 6 committee. Her office’s contacts with the White House Counsel’s Office came in 2022, as she was gathering facts and evidence about the conduct of Trump White House officials and seeking to compel their testimony before a special grand jury.
One of the officials who would be subpoenaed to testify was a former White House counsel, Pat Cipollone.
