A key witness in the ongoing Fani Willis disqualification hearings took the stand on Tuesday and was questioned by the Trump defense team for two hours.
Attorney Steve Sadow pressed Nathan Wade’s former law partner on some text messages allegedly sent by Bradley in which he appeared to confirm that Wade and Willis were dating before 2022.
Bradley confirmed that he had sent the text messages but that the contents were purely speculative. He then continued to state that he couldn’t remember specific details.
Charlie Kirk detailed 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?”

ABC News had more of Bradley’s 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.
Chuck Callesto claimed: “Star witness TEXTED Trump attorneys revealing that Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship BEGAN when Willis was a judge in South Fulton..This fully contradicts Wade’s testimony of when the relationship began. Willis’ tenure in South Fulton was 2019–2020.”
