An attorney for the Fulton County district attorney’s office described defense attorneys’ star witness as a “disgruntled, vengeful, speculator” as he fought back claims that Fani Willis should be disqualified from the election interference case because of a romantic relationship she had with Nathan Wade, her lead prosecutor.
Attorney Adam Abbate described the witness, Terrence Bradley, as a “disgruntled former partner,” saying the text messages exchanged between him and a defense attorney “show that he is vengeful.”
“You heard from his own testimony here, sitting before the court, that he … all he did was speculate, and any information that he had or had garnered and then passed on to Ms. Merchant was pure, mere speculation,” Abbate added, as he showed the court a PowerPoint slide that described Bradley as being a “disgruntled, vengeful, speculator.”
Defense attorneys had wanted Bradley, Wade’s onetime divorce attorney and former law partner, to undercut some of the testimony provided by Wade and Willis, but he failed to deliver damaging testimony at a hearing earlier this week, repeatedly saying that he couldn’t recall when Willis and Wade’s relationship started.
