Amid the escalating drama surrounding the bid to remove District Attorney Fannie Willis from the Georgia election subversion case, a Republican-led Georgia State Senate panel has subpoenaed Ashley Merchant, attorney for one of Donald Trump's co-defendants. Merchant testified about an alleged affair between Willis and social prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was chosen by Willis to lead the case against the former president.
Merchant revealed that she learned about the affair last summer from Terrence Bradley, Wade's former law partner and one-time divorce lawyer. Bradley, upset over the situation as Wade was still married, disclosed that Wade abruptly ended his marriage after meeting Willis, shortly after dropping their youngest child off at college. Both Willis and Wade have acknowledged the relationship but deny any wrongdoing.
