29/ No further questions from Gillen. Sadow jumps up on behalf of Trump. He wants to get a few questions in.
Sadow: When did your relationship with Willis end?
Wade: 2023. Summer of 2023. June, maybe.
28/ Gillen: Your relationship w/ Willis existed before special purpose grand jury released report?
Wade: Yes. But the work of the special purpose grand jury had been completed prior to the release of the report.
27/ Gillen: Your testimony is that romantic relationship began in 2022?
Wade: Yes.
Gillen: So when your contract was re-upped in 2022 you had romantic relationship w/ Willis?
Wade: I signed a second contract, yes. I'm not going to use word re-upped.
26/ Bower:
Gillen asks about Wade's invoices. Did he bill 24 hours in a day?
Wade: If you look at invoice, it says "date completed." That reflects the day the work/task was completed, not the day I did the hours. I wish the experts who opined on that would have called me to ask about it.
24/ Bower:
Gillen: Did you receive any modification of your contract at that point, i.e., did the cap on your hours increase?
Wade: The cap on my hours increased according to demands of investigation
emptywheel:
LOL, Nate Wade: Well, because you people were so uncooperative, the cap in my hours was expanded.
22/ Hallerman:
Wade said it’s inaccurate to say money he used for travel was all paid for by Fulton County or the state. He said he made a significant % of his income through his private practice. In 2022, half his income came from his firm, he said, and 40% in 2023.
21/ Gillen: You got money from Fulton County for work you do?
Wade: Yes.
Gillen: And that money is paid through public funds?
Wade: I take issue w/ idea I'm being paid by citizens of Fulton County...I get a check from the county
20/ Wade: No, didn't read part in which authors talked to her about financial situation.
Gillen: So Willis talked to those reporters about her financial situation but not you?
Wade: Willis made clear that her financial situation is her business...I don't know about it.
19/ Gillen: Did you talk to Willis about her financial situation?
Wade: No
Gillen: Have you read "Find me the Votes" by
@Isikoff
@dklaidman
?
Wade: Parts.
Gillen: Did you read the part in which Willis talks to the authors about her dire financial situation prior to her election?
11/ Court's back in session. #FaniWillis #Georgia
Honestly, it's been so tedious and annoying to watch, it's not worth threading word for word. I'll fill you in when I see some good reporting.
Again, here's the link to LIVE FEED:
10/ Court is on break til 1 pm ET
Hallerman:
"Our relationship wasn’t a secret. It was just private," Wade said of his relationship with Willis.
8/ Okay, I’m now watching the #Georgia hearing on #FaniWillis, but will take a break to, you know, do stuff I gotta do.
But for now:
Via Emptywheel:
Whatever happens with this Nate Wade hearing, Judge McAfee has definitely established he's unflappable.
7/ Hallerman:
Wade insist he didn't start relationship w Willis til early ‘22. ..after they met at judicial conf in Oct 2019 he spoke w her on phone 2-3 times in '19. She'd ask him q since she was new. Indic they bonded as jurists of color
Merchant pressed Wade about how he split travel $ w Willis. (He said they did roughly evenly in affidavit) He provided receipt of flight Willis paid for. Wade says that's the only record he has but could be others. Said Willis paid for other things in cash
6/ Bower:
Merchant: How did Willis reimburse you?
Wade: In cash.
At this, David Shafer laughs out loud.
Judge McAfee shuts him down, tells him he'll have to leave if keeps it up.
5/ Via Kyle Cheney:
WADE has been sworn in and is now on the stand. He's being questioned by Ashleigh Merchant, attorney for Mike Roman.
This entire sequence is damaging for Willis and her office. She had hoped to stave off the entire proceeding, and then to quash subpoenas for her and Wade. So far she's 0 for 2 and Wade is being pressed for details about his truthfulness about his relationship with Willis.
3/ Via Kyle Cheney:
Nathan WADE has been ordered by the judge to testify, now that a witness has contradicted his timeline of events. #Georgia
[Wade is on the stand now]
2/ Hallerman:
Yeartie confirms that she resigned from the DA's office after being written up for poor performance. Said she never spoke to Willis after leaving the DA's office
Again, dipping into #Georgia #FaniWillis hearing.
Via Stephen Fowler:
Robin Yeartie, a longtime friend of Fulton DA Fani WIllis, says in court that Willis and Nathan Wade were in a personal relationship some time late 2019, after the pair met at a judicial conference.
She also said she saw Willis/Wade kissing, hugging, being affectionate.
