Judge Cuts Off Lawyer for Fani Willis in Divorce Case Amid Affair Allegations
A divorce case involving Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade took an unexpected turn when a judge cut off Willis’ lawyer during arguments. The case revolves around allegations of an extramarital affair between Willis and Wade, which has put a spotlight on their professional relationship and the ongoing Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
During a hearing at Cobb County Superior Court, Willis’ lawyer, Cinque Axam, argued that his client should not be deposed due to her busy schedule and involvement in other legal matters, particularly the election interference case. Axam highlighted Willis’ responsibilities, stating that she manages a large staff, oversees thousands of open cases, and coordinates hundreds of cases on a monthly basis. However, before Axam could continue, Judge Henry Thompson interrupted him, urging him to focus on why Willis lacks “unique personal knowledge” in the divorce case.
The judge questioned whether there was information that couldn’t be discovered through other means, to which Axam responded that the case had been ongoing for over two years and that there were alternative ways to retrieve the information. The deposition order had only arrived in recent weeks, according to Axam.
The affair allegations surfaced when defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, representing former Trump campaign staffer Michael Roman, filed a motion alleging a romantic relationship between Willis and Wade. Joycelyn Wade’s attorney also presented evidence, including plane tickets purchased in Willis’ name by Nathan Wade, suggesting a romantic relationship between the two. These allegations have caused turmoil in the election interference case, with Trump and his allies using them to attack the case and question Wade’s qualifications as a prosecutor.
The accusations have fueled speculation and controversy surrounding the election interference case and have garnered attention from all sides. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who brought charges against Trump and his allies, now finds herself facing scrutiny due to the affair allegations. The case has become politically charged, with Trump vehemently denying any wrongdoing and dismissing the charges as politically motivated.
The divorce case has taken a dramatic turn with the judge cutting off Willis’ lawyer during arguments. The affair allegations have cast a shadow over the ongoing election interference case and have become a focal point for Trump and his allies to undermine the charges against them. As the case continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the affair allegations will impact both the divorce proceedings and the larger legal battle against Trump.
