There’s a storm brewing in Georgia, folks. A divorce lawyer found himself under intense scrutiny on Tuesday, sweating bullets as he was questioned about his knowledge of an alleged intimate relationship between Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, the attorney she hired to build an organized crime case against President Donald Trump.
The man in the hot seat was Terrence Bradley, a former divorce lawyer for Wade. He had been given the green light by a judge to answer questions about the issues surrounding Willis. This comes amidst arguments that Willis should be forcibly removed from the case.
Despite evidence suggesting she may have personally profited from hiring Wade – directing $650,000 of taxpayer funds to him and then taking exotic trips with him – Willis has refused to step down voluntarily.
One of Trump’s co-defendants in the RICO case submitted documents alleging that Willis’ impartiality in the case was compromised due to her relationship with Wade. The crux of the matter is that both Willis and Wade testified under oath that their relationship didn’t start until after she hired him. However, other witnesses have contradicted this claim, stating it started much earlier than that.
Judge Scott McAfee is set to issue a ruling after closing arguments on Friday.
According to a report at the Gateway Pundit, Bradley was visibly nervous when questioned about the matter on Tuesday. He claimed he couldn’t recall specific details, and often resorted to guessing or speculating.
The Daily Caller News Foundation posted a video:
The report detailed how a lawyer for Trump grilled Bradley on why he sent a text to a defense attorney confirming the start date of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ relationship with Nathan Wade.
Bradley claimed he was “speculating” when he told Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, via text that Willis’ relationship with Wade began years before he was hired. When asked about his “speculation”, Bradley often responded that he did “not recall”.
While Willis and Wade have claimed their relationship didn’t begin until 2022, Bradley had previously stated via text it started earlier. Another witness provided the same information.
Judge McAfee reviewed what Bradley would testify to and cleared him to be questioned in the case.
Trump’s lawyer asked, “Why would you speculate when she was asking you a direct question about when the relationship started?” To which Bradley replied, “I have no answer for that.”
“Except for the fact that you do in fact know when it started, and you don’t wanna testify to that in court,” Trump’s lawyer retorted.
This testimony followed Judge McAfee’s statement that Bradley’s statements were not protected by attorney-client privilege.
