Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor appointed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to oversee the 2020 election interference case involving former President Donald Trump, has reached a temporary settlement in his divorce proceedings. This development has eliminated the need for his testimony in the case, as reported by The Hill.
Cobb County Superior Court Judge Henry Thompson has approved a court order indicating that Wade and his spouse have “entered into a temporary agreement addressing all issues presently before the court.” This mutually agreed-upon resolution has rendered the scheduled hearing for Wednesday unnecessary, according to the court order.
Wade’s divorce had attracted public attention earlier this month when Michael Roman, a defendant in the Trump case, alleged that Wade and Willis were engaged in a romantic relationship. Roman contended that this alleged relationship could undermine the indictment against Trump, potentially rendering it “fatally defective.” These claims appeared to gain some support from charges on Wade’s personal credit card, which reportedly included expenses from 1-800-Flowers.com, flight tickets, and cruise-related expenses, as per the New York Post.
However, with the temporary agreement in place, Wade’s planned testimony, which could have shed light on these allegations, will no longer be necessary. This also means that Willis, who had been subpoenaed in the divorce case, will not have to testify.
Nonetheless, a hearing to address Roman’s accusations is scheduled for February 15.
