The judge overseeing Fulton County, Georgia’s 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump and other defendants called a recess Thursday when District Attorney Fani Willis became testy during questioning on the witness stand.

Willis is accused of personally benefiting financially from hiring her then-boyfriend Nathan Wade in the form of lavish personal trips they took together to such places as Belize, Aruba, and California’s Napa Valley.

The New York Post reported last month that Wade received $250 per hour, and the total payments to his law office in 2022 and 2023 totaled $653,880, according to Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA-TV.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee called for Thursday’s hearing to determine whether Willis and Wade should be disqualified from overseeing the election interference cases against Trump and 14 other defendants.

Willis and Wade both testified during the hearing that they split expenses on the trips and that she paid him back in cash.

Willis further testified that there would be no records of bank withdrawals prior to her repayments because she kept up to thousands of dollars in cash at her house, which she used to pay Wade.

Both wrote in court filings that their romantic relationship did not begin until 2022, after Willis had hired Wade to serve as special prosecutor in November 2021.
