As Breaking Digest previously reported, on Tuesday, Nathan Wade’s former partner and divorce attorney Terrence Bradly took the stand to testify during the ongoing Fani Willis disqualification hearings.
Bradley’s testimony, marked by evasiveness and a lack of specific information, focused on the timeline of Wade’s romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The origins of this relationship are being closely examined, as its timing might render Willis ineligible to oversee the Georgia election fraud case against Trump.
Bradley was grilled by President Trump’s attorneys for two hours.
Attorney Steve Sadow of the Trump defense team pressed Bradley on certain text messages that he sent, suggesting Wade and Willis were romantically involved before 2022.
Bradley acknowledged sending the text messages but asserted that their contents were speculative. He repeatedly stated that he could not recall any specific details.
Charlie Kirk described the courtroom exchange:
Trump Defense Attorney Steve Sadow grills Nathan Wade’s former law partner, Terrence Bradley, about a text message he sent that seemingly confirms the Fani/Wade love affair started before 2022:
SADOW: The first page starts off by saying, Ms. Merchant: “Like just date, don’t hire him. Do you think it started before she hired him?”
BRADLEY: Yes I see it, yes.
SADOW: And your response to that was “Absolutely.” Correct?
Fani and Wade are toast.

Bradley’s constant glances towards Wade and his legal team before each response were so noticeable that the defense called attention to it.
Attorney Ashleigh Merchant refused to overlook it, continuing to press Bradley on his “speculation.”

ABC News provided a transcript of Bradley’s testimony:
Trump attorney presses Bradley on dates of relationship
Prosecutor Nathan Wade’s former attorney Terrence Bradley described his past statements as “speculation” when Donald Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow confronted him with past text messages Bradley exchanged with another defense attorney that appeared inconsistent with his current testimony.
“That’s speculation on my part,” Bradley said. “I stated that I was speculating.”
Sadow showed him past text messages where Bradley said Wade and DA Fani Willis “absolutely” began their relationship before Wade was hired by Willis.
“It started when she left the DAs office and was [a] judge in South Fulton. They met at the Municipal Court CLE conference,” Bradley said in a text message that was entered into evidence.
Claiming he was speculating in that text, Bradley reiterated that he does not have direct information about when the relationship began. He said that between 2018 and 2022, he only spoke with Wade about the relationship once.
“I do not know when the relationship started between Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis. I cannot recall that,” Bradley said.
“Is it your testimony that you don’t know, under oath, whether or not there was a relationship between Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis, before the contract?” Sadow asked, referring to Wade’s November 2021 contract with the DA.
“I do not recall any dates of when the relationship started,” Bradley responded.
Sadow, however, appeared incredulous of Bradley and hammered at his claim.
“That’s the true explanation because you don’t want to admit it in court, correct?” Sadow said.
Bradley did not change his account of the relationship, despite Sadow’s repeated questions.
Sadow ultimately concluded his questions by reminding Bradley about the stakes of his testimony.
“You realize that if you were to testify under oath that you knew from Mr. Wade that the relationship between him and Miss Willis existed before the contract on November 1 of 2021 … that would show that both Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade had lied under oath. You know that don’t you?” Sadow said, prompting a sustained objection.
