Ex-divorce attorney takes stand in Fani Willis misconduct hearing: Recap

The former law partner and divorce lawyer of a top prosecutor in former President Trump’s Georgia election interference case has retaken the stand Tuesday after a judge determined he must testify in greater detail about Nathan Wade’s romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D).

Terrence Bradley, Wade’s former lawyer, is billed as the defense’s star witness in their bid to disqualify prosecutors from Trump’s case over the romance.

Willis and Wade both acknowledge the relationship but claim it began after Wade’s hiring to investigate Trump in Nov. 2021 and created no conflict.

Bradley allegedly sent text messages contradicting prosecutors’ timeline. But on the stand, Bradley has responded to many attorneys’ questions by saying he can’t recall and that those texts were just speculation.

Bradley previously invoked attorney-client privilege to avoid answering questions, and his testimony on Tuesday comes after Judge Scott McAfee determined Bradley can testify to additional details without breaking privilege.
