Georgia Prosecutor In 2020 Trump Election Case Won't Testify In Divorce Case
HuffPost
Nathan Wade has been accused of having an improper relationship with his boss, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
A prosecutor working on the Georgia 2020 election interference case against Donald Trump and others, who was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, reached a temporary agreement with his estranged wife on Tuesday in their divorce case, the judge announced. This removes the need for Nathan Wade to testify in the case, at least for now.
Wade’s divorce case has come under the spotlight since former Trump campaign staffer Michael Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants in the 2020 election case, accused Willis of hiring Wade while the two held a secret romantic relationship, as part of a “self-serving arrangement” to benefit both financially, without offering evidence.
Trump and Bob Cheeley, a lawyer who also indicted in the case for allegedly helping push the fake electors scheme, have now joined Roman’s effort to remove Willis from overseeing the case and dismiss the charges.
Neither Willis nor Wade have confirmed or denied the allegations.
Wade was scheduled to testify in court Wednesday, where he was likely to face questions about the nature of his relationship to Willis and bank records showing him purchasing airline tickets for the two of them. The hearing has now been canceled following the two sides reaching a temporary deal.
