A Cobb County judge has unsealed the divorce records of a top prosecutor in Fulton County’s election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

This will allow the public to “sift through personal information that could involve his boss and alleged romantic partner, Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis,” The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

The AJC’s Tamar Hallerman and Bill Rankin add that Superior Court Judge Henry Thompson also placed a temporary stay on a subpoena from the estranged wife of special prosecutor Nathan Wade. “She was seeking to depose Willis this week,” Hallerman and Rankin write.

Willis received the subpoena amid allegations that she and special prosecutor Nathan Wade were involved in an inappropriate relationship while working on the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

Ashleigh Merchant, an attorney for defendant Mike Roman, made the allegations about Willis and Wade in a court filing earlier this month. The AJC reports Merchant argued Monday in favor of making the records public, underscoring that they “contain evidence about the prosecutors’ alleged personal relationship.”

Earlier this month, speaking from the pulpit at Big Bethel Baptist Church in downtown Atlanta, Willis referenced what she believes to be a double standard by those accusing her of giving Wade preferential treatment and pay while working for her.

Willis did not use Wade’s name as she launched into the speech, only telling audience members at the historical church that the special prosecutor she hired was the same person hired in a different county to do a similar job at a much higher pay rate.

She spoke glowingly about the credentials of everyone on her team and the importance of their jobs.

Willis was at Big Bethel Church to speak ahead of the Martin Luther King holiday.

Trump referenced Willis at a pre-caucus rally in Iowa on Jan. 14, saying the allegations are proof that the case against him in Georgia should be dropped.

“You saw Fani Willis gave her boyfriend a million bucks to go get Trump,” he said. “She has been exposed. I can’t imagine they can continue on with that case... they should drop that Georgia case.”
