If she paid for Wade’s trip, then that should be on Wades disclosure form,
shouldn’t it.
Or did he file one? After all, it was a significant birthday gift.
When she was shown the text of the regulation, she said she didn't think of the dinners as gifts, and she said Wade would pay one time and she'd pay another time.
Then she was asked about when she was quoted in a book about not having a relationship with someone who worked in the same office. She said she never said that, she said she wouldn't sleep with an employee. She said she never thought of Wade as an employee, he was a contractor. The lawyer then said her quote was wrong and she actually said "I would never sleep with someone who was under me" and that Wade was under her, and then that's when the judge stepped in and shut down that line of questioning.
I can't say that the judge was protecting Willis or just that the point was made and it was time to move on. Again, there is no jury, the judge is deciding from the bench so he gets to say when he's heard enough on that point.

The lawyers need to ask.
