Summary

The most recent episode of Breakdown covers developments inside and outside of court in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and 14 remaining co-defendants. And the motion to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis because of her alleged inappropriate romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade continues to loom over the case. Episode 26 – “Piling On” – of Season 10 – “The Trump Indictment” – by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports on motions filed by Trump’s attorney and by attorneys for another co-defendant that join the effort to disqualify Willis. The episode also includes an interview with the lawyer who represents Wade’s estranged wife and who says a motion to quash a subpoena by Willis’ lawyer was a big mistake.

There he would have undoubtedly been questioned about whether he was or had been in a romantic relationship with district attorney Fani Willis.

Well, none of that came to pass. A little more than 12 hours before the hearing was

scheduled to begin, we learned that a temporary divorce

1:04.2

settlement had been struck between Wade and his estranged wife Joicillin because of

1:10.3

that the hearing was cancelled. The news were sure was welcomed by the Fulton County

1:15.5

DA's office. That hearing could have resulted in headaches and potentially

But it really does increasingly look like

DA Willis won't have to testify under oath in the divorce case, which must be a

relief to her. Undoubtedly. In this episode we speak with Andy Hastings, Joyce Lynn Wade's divorce attorney, about
