Conflicting testimonies emerge in the corruption trial of Georgia DA Fani Willis, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
During Georgia DA Fani Willis’ corruption trial, Terrence Bradley, Nathan Wade’s former divorce attorney, reacted with “oh dang” to text messages hinting at Wade’s timeline with Willis.
Bradley’s response happened during his testimony in a trial centered on misconduct allegations related to Willis assigning Wade to investigate Trump’s 2020 election challenges.
Bradley, who messaged defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant implying Willis and Wade’s relationship predated Wade’s November 2021 appointment, later testified his texts were speculative, not based on direct knowledge.

His testimony contradicted prosecutors’ assertion that their relationship began after Wade’s hiring, a critical point concerning potential conflicts of interest in the case.
Trump’s lawyer Steve Sadow, representing the defense, expressed confusion and frustration at Bradley’s speculative claim, questioning why he’d assert without factual basis.
Bradley’s inability to provide a clear answer to these questions has added another layer of complexity to the trial, which has already seen its fair share of dramatic moments.
The trial is part of a wider investigation into alleged interference by Trump and his associates in Georgia’s 2020 election.
The defense accuses Willis and Wade of enriching themselves through a personal relationship alleged to have started before Wade’s appointment.
This claim, if proven true, could potentially disqualify Willis from further prosecuting the case against Trump and his co-defendants.
The hearing, drawing significant media attention, is within a motion filed by lawyers to disqualify Willis due to a conflict of interest from her relationship with Wade. The trial’s outcome could greatly impact the ongoing legal battles over the 2020 election and Trump’s involvement afterward.
