Judge says Fani Willis doesn't have to testify in divorce case — for now

A Georgia judge declined to order Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to take the stand in prosecutor Nathan Wade's divorce case. Willis has been accused of an affair with Wade, who she then hired to work on the racketeering case against Donald Trump.

In a hearing on Monday, Cobb County Judge Henry Thompson ruled that Wade's divorce records would be unsealed. But the judge stayed an order for Willis to sit for a deposition.

Thompson said he would revisit his decision after Wade testified under oath.

Willis, Wade and his wife, Jocelyn Wade were not present for the hearing.

Wade is a top prosecutor in the case Willis brought against Trump and over a dozen co-defendants for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
