The former law partner and divorce lawyer of a top prosecutor in former President Trump’s Georgia election interference case is expected to retake 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).
Defense attorneys claim Terrence Bradley, Wade's former lawyer, will contradict the timeline, billing him as a star witness in the defense’s bid to disqualify the Fulton County district attorney’s office from Trump's case.
Bradley previously invoked attorney-client privilege, telling the judge he represented Wade in his divorce case throughout the time in question. But after a private questioning, Judge Scott McAfee determined Bradley can testify to additional details without breaking privilege.
Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade both acknowledge the relationship but claim it began after Wade's hiring to investigate Trump in Nov. 2021 and created no conflict.
It remains unclear what specific details Bradley will now outline in public, but Tuesday’s hearing sets up a high-stakes moment in Trump’s bid to get Willis disqualified from the case, one of four criminal indictments Trump faces.
