Former Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade left the Capitol on Tuesday after a marathon four-and-a-half hour interrogation by House Judiciary Committee investigators.
Wade, whose legal team included former Georgia Gov. Roy Burns, said little to reporters before, after and during his closed-door testimony. No legislators were seen entering or leaving the house.
“This is what I’m going to say: We gave our testimony, we cooperated and we finished,” Barnes told reporters after the session.

Barnes said “yes” when asked if it was a productive meeting and said “no” when asked by Fox News Digital if he would follow up with the committee.
Previously, he testified to a reporter who asked whether Wade would invoke the Fifth Amendment, responding sternly: “What crime was committed here?”
The House Judiciary Committee is seeking information about Wade's relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis, who is investigating allegations that former President Donald Trump overturned the 2020 election. Georgia's loss. Trump and 18 associates were indicted by a grand jury in August 2023 on racketeering and conspiracy charges.
Wade was brought in by Willis as a special prosecutor in that investigation, but he and Willis began a romantic relationship, which ended after it was revealed that he was gone.

In two letters released Monday night by the Republican majority on the committee, Willis said Wade was ordered “not to answer any questions about his role in the election interference case or any evidence in that case.”
“Disclosure of such evidence may interfere with ongoing proceedings, is considered legally privileged and is not subject to disclosure,” Willis wrote.
Committee X responded: “What is he trying to hide?”

It's one of several investigations House Republicans have launched into Trump's legal battle since he left office.
Both Willis and Wade maintained that their relationship had nothing to do with the case and accused the Republican of trying to improperly interfere with the Fulton County investigation.

One of Trump's co-defendants filed a motion to disqualify Willis and Wade from the case, arguing that their relationship presented a conflict of interest and that they benefited financially from the investigation — which they denied.
A Fulton County judge ruled in March that Willis can remain on the case if Wade is removed.
