(Daily Mail) 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.
