Nathan Wade’s divorce lawyer testifies on Fani Willis relationship

Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce attorney has taken the stand at Fulton County court to testify about the timeline of the alleged relationship between him and District Attorney Fani Willis. 

Terrence Bradley was ordered Monday to testify about Willis and Wade, who stand accused of being in an intimate relationship by the time Wade was tapped by the district attorney to be special prosecutor in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case. 

Willis and Wade have told the court their relationship first became romantic in 2022 and have stuck by that story through their tesitmony, but lawyers for Trump and co-defendent Michael Roman have insisted they can prove otherwise.

Bradley had previously refused to testify in court, citing attorney-client privilege between him and Wade.

Judge Scott McAfee ruled Monday that Bradley and Wade were not covered under such a privilege, and recalled the attorney to return to the stand.

Bradley has previously conceded he stepped down from the law firm he worked together with Wade following sexual assault allegations from a staffer.

Trump and his co-defendants are looking to disqualify Willis from the case and to have all charges, centered around the state’s expansive racketeering RICO law, dismissed.

The defendants have argued that Willis and Wade compromised the integrity of the case as the district attorney stood to financially benefit from Wade’s appointment given their alleged romance.

So far, the defense has presented dozens of pings from Wade’s cellphone that place it at Willis’ rented condo in the early hours of the morning prior to 2022. A former friend of the district attorney, who owned the condo, has also testifed she was the two “hugging” and “kissing” in 2019.

Fulton County DA Ana Cross, however, suggested the ex-pal, Robin Yeartie, may have had an axe to grind after she resigned for her position as Willis’ media rep in 2021, with Yeartie testifying that she would have been fired if she didn’t step down.
