Nathan Wade on the stand in Fulton County

“We’re private people,” special prosecutor Nathan Wade testified during a hearing examining several aspects of his disputed romance with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis early Thursday afternoon. “Our relationship wasn’t a secret, it was just private.”

The dispute, however, is not about the existence of that relationship — the basic fact was acknowledged by the pair in court filings earlier this month. The judge overseeing the case, rather, is concerned largely with when the relationship went from platonic to amorous. And, on that question, there are now two starkly contradictory accounts.

Wade, for his part, insisted under oath on Thursday that he and Willis did not become romantically entangled until 2022.

But Wade, the lead prosecutor in the racketeering (RICO) and election subversion case against Donald Trump and others, taking the stand at all was a significant procedural victory for co-defendant Michael Roman and his attorney, Ashleigh Merchant. As the state has roundly complained in both the courtroom and court filings, opposing counsel being forced to testify by the defense is considered something of an anomaly and rarity for a criminal proceeding in the United States.
