COBB COUNTY, Ga. - A Cobb County judge ruled on Monday that the
divorce case involving Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade,
who was hired to head up the case against former President Donald
Trump, should be unsealed. Additionally, he issued a stay on the
deposition of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Superior Court Judge Henry Thomas based his decision to unseal the
divorce on the fact that a hearing was not held before the case was
sealed, which is a violation of procedure.

As for Willis, the judge said that since there are no minor children
involved in the dissolution of the marriage between Nathan and
Joycelyn Wade and that it's a "math problem," it didn't make sense
to hear from Willis before Mr. Wade had been questioned under oath
about his finances and his relationship with Willis.


Since Willis was scheduled to be deposed on Jan. 23 and Wade is not
expected to be questioned for another 9 days, the judge issued a
stay on the deposition of Willis. Judge Thomas indicated that if
questions remain after Wade has been deposed, he will reconsider the
deposition of Willis.

None of the key players -- Willis or either of the Wades -- were in
the Cobb County courtroom for the hearing. Thomas said he would
issue the order to unseal the divorce documents later today.

This all stems from accusations from a co-defendent in the election interference case that Willis and her special prosecutor, Nathan
Wade, had an improper relationship. Now Willis has been subpoenaed
by Wade's ex-wife to testify in their divorce case.

On Thursday, Willis filed an emergency motion for a protective order
asking the judge to stay her testimony in the divorce case. Wade's
ex-wife, Jocelyn, submitted bank records showing Willis and Wade
took multiple trips together during the investigation into the
Georgia election interference case involving former President Donald
Trump.

In that motion, Willis claims Wade's marriage fell apart before she
met him, and she has no knowledge relevant to the subject matter.
She also accused Jocelyn Wade of conspiring against her.

One legal expert said it's unknown how much information will be
released.

"Typically, evidence presented in divorce cases is sealed. Even in
dissolution of marriage, we don't want the public kind of prying
into marital life. So, it will be interesting to see if it's
unsealed," John Acevedo, Visiting Associate Professor at Emory
University, explained.

This follows a motion by Michael Roman, one of the co-defendants in
the election interference case, to have his case thrown out saying
Willis and Wade had an improper relationship and should not be able
to prosecute the case because of it. Employment contracts show Wade
was paid more than other special prosecutors, despite Willis' claims
they were all paid equally.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has set a hearing
for that case on Feb. 15. Acevedo says the Cobb County case could
cause delays in Fulton County.

"In many ways, the more information released, the faster the
criminal prosecution can continue, because then the information will
already be in-hand for that February hearing. If it's not released,
then the judge in February will have to decide whether he wants to
compel the release from this civil divorce proceeding, which is not
in the same court, and not in the same division. And that will cause
delay," Acevedo explained.

As for the Fulton County cases, Acevedo said the outcome of Roman's
motion won't impact whether the cases will be prosecuted.

"If nothing else, it will make the jurors have pause as they're
seated, or the potential jurors. Will it ultimately decide the case?
Probably not. Best case scenario, the defendant gets all their
motions. We re-set back. [The] grand jury re-issues indictments. A
new special prosecutor is appointed. So at most that you hope for is
a delay," he explained.
