Prosecutor in Trump’s Georgia case avoids testifying about Fani Willis after temporary divorce agreement
Trump and a co-defendant in the case have cited allegations of a romantic relationship between the prosecutor and Willis in their efforts to get the election charges dismissed.
ATLANTA — The lead prosecutor in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia reached a temporary agreement with his wife in their divorce proceedings Tuesday, canceling a court hearing Wednesday where he had been expected to testify about an alleged improper relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Cobb County Superior Court Judge Henry Thompson said in a court filing that special prosecutor Nathan Wade and his wife, Jocelyn Wade, agreed there was no longer a need for a hearing Wednesday, when Nathan Wade was likely to testify about allegations of a romantic relationship with Willis.
Trump and a co-defendant in the election interference case have cited the allegations of a romantic relationship in their efforts to get the charges against them dismissed.
“The parties, by and through their counsel of record, have entered into a temporary agreement addressing all issues presently before the Court,” Thompson wrote in a court filing Tuesday.
The details of the agreement were not immediately clear, and Thompson noted that the parties "have further agreed that the terms and provisions of this temporary agreement shall not be filed with the Court.”
