Terrence Bradley, Nathan Wade's former law partner and divorce attorney, allegedly told Trump defendant Michael Roman's attorney outside court that Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade had sex at the law firm she was hiring before she became Fulton County district attorney.
Bradley returned to the stand Tuesday after previously refusing to answer questions and hiding behind attorney-client privilege. However, Judge Scott McAfee ruled he was not protected by attorney-client privilege and ordered him to testify Tuesday morning.
Attorney Ashley Merchant made the surprising revelation while examining Bradley at her third hearing on a motion to exclude Fanny Willis from the RICO case against Trump and 18 other defendants. Merchant asked Bradley if it was true that Fanny Willis had sex with Nathan Wade at her law firm before she became district attorney and before Wade was appointed to lead the prosecution.
Watch a replay of Bradley's full testimony from earlier here.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on text messages Bradley sent to Roman's attorney, Ashley Merchant, in which he said Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade “absolutely” began a relationship before he rented Willis Wade's office.
“They will deny it,” he told Merchant via text message. Wade and Willis both testified earlier this month that they began a relationship after he was appointed to lead Trump's election interference case. The two also claimed to have met at Willis' home no more than ten times, but according to geo-tracking data, Wade likely visited Willis' home 35 times.
Despite obtaining receipts of the text messages, Bradley repeatedly claimed that he did not remember any conversations he had with Wade or messages he sent to Merchant.

Bradley was sweating on the witness stand during his questioning about Nathan Wade's relationship with District Attorney Fanny Willis.
About 30 minutes into the hearing, Bradley agreed with Merchant that Fannie Willis had a meeting in Bradley's office before she became district attorney, and that Nathan Wade was present “back there” in the office. Merchant then asked if Bradley remembered “telling me about spending time together at her law firm before she took the job” as a prosecutor. “I don't remember,” Bradley replied, before asking Merchant if he knew that Fanny Willis had rented an office from Nathan Wade's personal lawyer in the matter, Andrew Evans.
After Bradley objected and tried to evade the question, he admitted that he knew she had “rented an office from the Evans family.”
“Do you remember telling me that Mr. Wade and Mrs. Willis would meet in that office?” The merchant asked before the lawyers interrupted him with another objection.
After another attempt to dodge the question and more objections from Bradley's attorney, the judge ultimately ruled that knowledge of an office meeting was not hearsay if the information came from Nathan Wade himself. Bradley then admitted: “Any knowledge I would have received would have come from my client [Nathan Wade] on time.”
However, Bradley claimed that he did not remember what he learned from Nathan Wade and that he only had one conversation with Wade about their relationship. “I remember I knew they were going to do it – that he would come down to the office or he would have gone to the office; “But I can’t tell you in what capacity or when or any of that,” Bradley said.
Apparently, during one of these visits to Fanny Willis's office, Nathan Wade had sex with her, according to letters Merchant received. But Bradley repeatedly claimed he “didn't remember.” [Wade] “He says so,” he evades the question: “Is it possible that he said that?”
The dealer then asked, “Do you remember that he had a garage door opener for either a house or an apartment or something like that that belonged to Mrs. Willis?” Bradley could not give a definitive answer as to whether or not he knew about this or made it up in a conversation with Merchant.
Bradley was also questioned as to whether Nathan Wade had told him or if he had any knowledge of the vacations taken by Wade and Fanny Willis. He claimed to have no knowledge whatsoever of these trips. “I didn't know until you texted that you found that in…something about his divorce,” Bradley said.
“When I replied”Doesn't surprise me. They've taken a lot of trips to Florida, Texas and California, but those are your words, right?” Merchant asked. After Bradley's lawyer filed an unsuccessful objection, Merchant again asked if he remembered him saying via text message that he knew about some of the trips they took and wouldn't be surprised. Bradley said again, “I don't remember that, but if…you don't remember.”
Nathan Wade also took the stand and testified under oath earlier this month that he paid for all the vacations he took with Fannie Willis using his business card — and that Fannie Willis reimbursed him cash for the expenses.
Bradley later told co-accused Robert Chealy's lawyer, Richard Rice, that he did not know whether to lie about Nathan Wade, a long-time friend of more than a decade, when asked about his text messages to Ashley Merchant.
