The headline is a little misleading.
It says in the article that Willis isn't mentioned in the original proceedings. But the divorce seems a bit acrimonious, and the wife kept hammering away to see Wade's financial records, particularly after he got the Special Prosecutor gig, which the wife contended that he made a lot of money off of (and would affect the alimony payments).
It was in a subsequent batch of discovery documents where there was evidence that the two went on a trip together. But, more directly, it looks like there wasn't even any evidence of any relationship at all, other than they were on the same trips at the same time, and Wade paid for some aspects of the trips for both of them. You would think that if there was an actual relationship, they would have found more evidence of that in the credit card receipts (and the Trump team would be broadcasting that evidence to everyone now that it is unsealed)
So there's something there after all, but not nearly what Trump's team thinks it is. But that's Trump's strategy in all this: his legal team is throwing anything they can against the wall to see if it sticks. They don't need to be right, they just need to delay this all as much as they can.
It's important, though, to acknowledge the facts as they exist. Someone reading the headline would have a distorted view of all this.
Thanks for the clarification. I see they updated the headline on the website to now say original.
