Fani Willis will not have to testify Wednesday in special prosecutor's divorce case

The day before a scheduled hearing in Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade's divorce case, a judge indicated that Wade and his estranged wife, Jocelyn Wade, have come to a temporary agreement, canceling Wednesday's scheduled divorce proceedings — and the potential for testimony regarding Wade's alleged relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Nathan Wade is one of the attorneys leading the prosecution of former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants under RICO charges for election interference in Georgia's 2020 presidential election. Willis hired Wade to work on the case.
The divorce was thrust into the national spotlight after attorneys for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman alleged in a filing in the Georgia election interference case that Nathan Wade was involved in a romantic relationship with Willis. The filing cited no proof, but said documents in the divorce corroborated these allegations. Roman is trying to get the charges against him dismissed "on the grounds that the entire prosecution is invalid and unconstitutional," claiming that both Willis and Wade improperly benefited financially from the arrangement.
A new law aims to strengthen reporting requirements for technology companies to combat online predators seeking to exploit children. One dad told CBS News that he hopes the law will save children like his son, who died by suicide after becoming ensnared in a "sextortion" scheme when he was 17 years old.
