Fani Willis warned Nathan Wade’s lawyer to stay quiet about affair, court filing claims: ‘They are coming after us’
2024-03-05
[NYPost] A new witness could testify Fani Willis warned lover Nathan Wade’s former business partner to stay quiet about their affair, an explosive new court filing claims.

“They are coming after us. You don’t need to talk to them about anything about us,” Willis is alleged to have warned Terrence Bradley in a September 2023 phone call.

The call was overheard by Cobb County, Georgia, prosecutor Cindi Lee Yeager, according to court papers filed Monday by Trump co-defendant David Schafer.

Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, is currently battling to stay in her post overseeing the election interference case which charged Donald Trump and 18 others.

She stands accused of carrying on a relationship with Wade, who she appointed special prosecutor, but hiding it from the court, presenting a conflict of interest.

Willis and Wade have said under oath they were only romantic between 2022 and 2023, long after the case started.

At a hearing over whether to disqualify Willis last week Bradley claimed on the stand that he had no “knowledge” of when the two prosecutors started dating.

But the filing says Yeager would swear under oath that that was at odds with what Bradley told Yeager in person — that the romance began in 2019, during Willis’s DA campaign.

Bradley also texted a lawyer for another Trump co-defendant the pair were “absolutely” dating before Willis hired Wade to manage the Trump prosecution in November 2021 — and then muttered, “Oh, dang” when confronted with that evidence on the stand.

Yeager is willing to testify Bradley told her Wade “had definitively begun a romantic relationship with Ms. Willis during the time that Ms. Willis was running for District Attorney in 2019 through 2020,” Monday’s filing says.

But Willis’ office has argued that Bradley — who testified that his claims about Wade and Willis were “speculation” — is an unreliable witness who “had every motive to lie” after he’d left Wade’s law practice under suspicion of sexual assault.

#3  In reality Fani coerced false testimony from Wade’s buddy under threat of prosecution for the sexual assault. She can’t be left in charge of a prosecutor’s office.

#2  A little hair of the dog Fani. They are after you because you stole, cheated and lied, both in your personal life and professional life. But you arrogance of telling lies in court will prove to be your end, all brought on by you.

#1  There are too many holes in Fani’s boat to not disqualify her. If she is not disqualified, the motions to disqualify will just stack up. The judge is up for reelection. He will delay his ruling until the window closes on anyone else submitting a petition to challenge him.
