According to sources familiar with the matter, a judge in Fulton County has ruled that Terrence Bradley, former law partner and divorce attorney of special prosecutor Nathan Wade, will need to testify in the Georgia election interference case involving former President Donald Trump. The testimony will cover topics that are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
After meeting with Bradley on Monday, Judge Scott McAfee sent an email to the attorneys involved in the case, informing them that certain communications between Wade and Bradley are not protected by attorney-client confidentiality, according to sources familiar with the matter.
In the Trump election case, Michael Roman and a group of co-defendants are requesting the disqualification of Willis. They allege that she obtained financial benefits through a “personal, romantic relationship” with Wade, whom she hired for the case.
Willis and Wade have acknowledged their relationship, stating that it does not pose a conflict of interest that would disqualify them. They also clarify that their relationship has never resulted in any financial gain, directly or indirectly, for District Attorney Willis.
According to the defense, Bradley possesses evidence suggesting that Wade and Willis’ relationship started before Wade was hired. This contradicts the statements made by Willis and Wade in court. During a hearing on February 15, Bradley chose not to respond to the defense’s questions, citing attorney-client privilege.
Returning to the stand, he holds the potential to unveil significant revelations as the defense persists in their endeavor to disqualify Willis from the election case and have the charges dismissed.
Bradley may be called upon to provide testimony as soon as Tuesday.
In August, Trump and 18 other individuals entered pleas of not guilty to all charges in a comprehensive racketeering indictment. The indictment accused them of engaging in alleged activities aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Following this, four defendants opted for plea deals, wherein they agreed to testify against the other defendants.
The district attorney’s investigation has been criticized by the former president as politically motivated.
