Incredible moment Nathan Wade's divorce lawyer appears to mutter 'oh dang' when he's shown text message HE SENT saying his client started dating Fani Willis BEFORE she hired him to prosecute Trump

  • Nathan Wade’s former divorce attorney and law partner, Terrence Bradley, stumbled his way through an appearance on the stand Tuesday
  • The lawyer was presented with direct communications of his in which he confirmed that Willis and Wade began dating before she hired him 
  • Bradley appeared flustered throughout his testimony and repeatedly told the court he ‘could not recall’ key pieces of information 

Nathan Wade’s divorce attorney, Terrence Bradley, had a candid reaction to a piece of evidence he was presented with while on the stand Tuesday in the financial corruption trial of District Attorney Fani Willis.

Bradley, Wade’s former divorce attorney and law partner, took the stand Tuesday, where he was shown a series of text messages in which he spoke about the timeline of Willis and Wade’s relationship – one of the central issues of the trial.

A clip shows Bradley muttering to himself ‘oh dang’ as he reviews a series of texts in which he seemingly confirms that Willis and Wade were dating before Willis hired Wade to help prosecute the George case against former President Donald Trump.

One of Trump’s attorneys, Steve Sadow questioned Bradley about a series of texts between himself and Ashleigh Merchant – an attorney for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman.

Sadow pointed to a text conversation in which Merchant wrote to Bradley:

‘Like just date, don’t hire him. Do you think it started before she hired him?’ referring to Willis and Wade’s romantic tryst and the timing of Wade’s hiring.

It is at this point that Bradley whispered to himself ‘dang.’

Sadow reads on that Bradley responded to Merchant’s question via text: ‘Absolutely.’

Bradley subsequently attempted to deny that he knew the actual timeline of Willis and Wade’s relationship and his text had been mere ‘speculation.’

Sadow then asked him ‘why the heck’ he would speculate about when they started dating in a text message.

‘What you want the court to believe and you want the rest of us to believe, is that for some unknown reason, upon being asked a direct question about when the relationship started, you decided on your own to simply speculate and put it down in a text message as opposed to putting down what you actually knew,’ he said.

Bradley responded by saying he had ‘no answer.’ Sadow contended that Bradley did know when the relationship started but was refusing to testify to the fact.

Bradley took the stand following a meeting yesterday with Judge Scott McAfee, who ruled certain communications between Wade and Bradley are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Bradley was shown a text message he sent claiming Wade and Willis started dating in 2019, but said he ‘could not recall’ his actions and was ‘speculating’ when he gave a timeline of the tryst

Earlier Tuesday, Bradley tied himself in knots on the stand repeatedly telling the court he ‘could not recall’ when asked if Wade and Willis began their romantic connection before he was hired to prosecute the former president in Georgia.

Wade’s former law partner employed the phrase upwards of 10 times while on the stand, including one instance when he told the court: ‘I cannot recall if I lied,’ when asked about former statements he made pertaining to Wade and Willis’ relationship.

His dramatic appearance followed equally dramatic revelations that Wade visited DA Fani Willis’ Georgia neighborhood at least 35 times and stayed overnight before she hired him on the Trump investigation team.

Willis and Wade have stood by the story that they began their romantic relationship in 2022, after he he had been tapped for the team charged with looking into Trump’s bid to overturn the election in Georgia. But testimony throughout the hearing, as well as evidence presented in court have poked multiple holes in the claim.

Michael Roman, a political strategist and former Trump campaign staffer, and several other co-defendants in Trump’s case are attempting to kick District Attorney Fanni Willis, 53, off the case, due to what they believe was an ‘improper’ relationship.

They cite her alleged financial benefit from a ‘personal, romantic relationship’ with special prosecutor Wade, whom she hired – on the taxpayer’s dime – to work the case.

Although Willis and Wade have acknowledged their relationship, they have argued repeatedly that it ‘does not amount to a disqualifying conflict of interest’ and that the relationship ‘has never involved direct or indirect financial benefit to District Attorney Willis.’
