Wade is asked if he filed for divorce on Nov. 2, 2021, one day after he was hired as a special prosecutor on the Fulton election interference case.

He says after his wife had an affair in 2015, they agreed they’d stay together until their youngest child graduated high school. The reason he formally filed for divorce on the day he did, he says his wife was only in town briefly. There’s an attorney/client privilege objection.

Wade says he’ll answer. “Joycelyn had relocated to Texas and was in Texas for months. She was only here for a brief period of time to drive our daughter’s car back with her," he said. She was served at that time, he said.

He says it was purely coincidental that the divorce was formally filed on the day after he signed his contract with the county.

Sadow, Trump's lawyer, asked Wade when he broke up with Willis.

Wade said it was about summer 2023, and estimated it was around June.

"Forgive me, I'm a man. We don't do the date thing," he said.

He also said they have not had sexual intercourse since they split up, but they are close friends. "Probably closer than ever because of these attacks," Wade said.

Gillen and Wade spar over an invoice from Nov. 5, 2021, where Wade billed 24 hours for preparing cases for pretrial.

Gillen repeatedly claims that the invoice shows Wade billing 24 hours of work in one single day. Wade says he never billed 24 hours of work in one day and the invoices were billed by the date they were completed. So 24 hours billed can be spread across multiple dates.

Gillen pressed Wade about cash that Willis paid Wade as part of a trip to Belize in March 2023. Gillen asked if Wade went with Willis to an ATM. Wade said Willis had cash already.

"So when she would give you the cash, did you have a little place in your house where you stack up all this cash that you apparently got to repay you for these benefits that you bestowed on her?" Gillen asked.

Wade took issue with the line of questioning: "If I answer that, I'm putting myself in jeopardy. If I tell the world that I have cash someplace in my home, let's think that that could be problematic."

He said sometimes they would have the cash on the trips and he would spend it and sometimes they would put it in the hotel safe.

“The only special place that the cash would have gone would have been one of my children,” Wade said.

Craig Gillen, the lawyer for Trump co-defendant David Shafer, repeatedly pressed Wade to clear up language he used in his answers from an interrogatory from his divorce.

Gillen asked Wade if he had sexual relations with Willis before May 2023. One of the prosecutors from the district attorney's office objected several times but the judge overruled.

McAfee said he wants Gillen to establish what Wade said in the interrogatory before moving on and said that "words matter" and they need to establish what did or didn't happen. Wade said he answered no on the interrogatory.

"Let’s just get down to it. Did you or did you not by May 30, 2023, have sexual relations with Miss Willis, yes or no?" Gillen asked.

"Yes or no? Yes," Wade said.

The hearing resumed just after 1 p.m. ET.

Judge McAfee announced that they are taking a 45-minute break, with a planned return at 1 p.m. ET.

When asked about who paid for their trips, Wade said that Willis insisted on splitting costs, saying that she is a "strong, proud woman" and that her independence was at times a point of contention in their relationship.

Wade clarifies they didn't always split every individual purchase 50/50; there were times when he would book flights and she would pay for excursions.

Merchant asserted that Wade was paid $300,000 by Fulton County in 2022, which Wade disputes.

He says that the law firm was paid $300,000, but that money didn't go directly into his pocket.

Wade is testifying that any money paid to his law firm first was used to pay firm expenses, then was split between Wade and his partners.
