An emergency hearing has been scheduled for later today in the ongoing effort to disqualify Fulton County D.A. Fonny Willis from the 2020 Georgia election subversion case. The star witness, Terrence Bradley, is set to take the stand again after the judge determined that certain questions he previously declined to answer citing attorney-client privilege were not covered by that privilege. This development follows a meeting between Bradley and Judge Scott McAfee, where it was clarified that some questions were fair game for him to respond to.
Bradley's testimony is crucial as it pertains to the alleged improper relationship between Willis' top prosecutor, Nathan Wade, and the District Attorney herself. The allegations, first brought to light by former Trump campaign official Mike Roman and his attorney, Ashley Merchant, claim that the relationship between Wade and Willis began before Wade was even hired. However, Wade has sworn in an affidavit that the relationship only started in 2022.
If Bradley can provide evidence to contradict Wade's testimony, it could have serious implications for the District Attorney's office. Any findings that Wade was not entirely truthful while under oath could lead to significant repercussions. The resumption of Bradley's testimony is expected to shed more light on the nature of the relationship between Wade and Willis and its potential impact on the case.
The unexpected turn of events leading to this emergency hearing underscores the high stakes involved in the legal proceedings. The outcome of today's testimony could have far-reaching consequences for the ongoing case and the individuals involved. Stay tuned for further updates as the hearing unfolds later today.
