Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor assigned by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to former President Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case, has reached a temporary settlement in his divorce, thereby eliminating the need for his testimony, The Hill reported.
Cobb County Superior Court Judge Henry Thompson signed the court order indicating that Wade "entered into a temporary agreement addressing all issues presently before the court." The mutual agreement between parties thereby negates a need for Wednesday's hearing, according to the order.
Wade's divorce garnered public interest earlier this month when Michael Roman, a defendant in the Trump case, alleged that the special prosecutor and Willis were involved in a romantic relationship. This claim, Roman argued, could render the indictment against Trump "fatally defective." And Roman's argument appears to be backed up by the charges on Wade's personal card, which, as the New York Post reports, included purchases from 1-800-Flowers.com, tickets for flights, and ventures for a cruise.
However, with the temporary agreement in place, Wade's scheduled testimony, which could have brought these allegations to the forefront, will no longer take place. This also implies that Willis, who had been subpoenaed in the divorce case, will avoid taking the stand.
Still, a hearing for Roman's accusations is slated for Feb. 15.
