Georgia prosecutor alleges Fani Willis asked Bradley not to testify on affair: 'They are coming after us'

Trump co-defendant David Shafer has asked Fulton County Superior Court to hear new witness testimony that Fani Willis lied about the timing of her affair with Nathan Wade.

The motion informs the court that Yeager contacted Shafer's counsel after watching Bradley's testimony. She told the attorneys about alleged in-person and other conversations she had with Bradley from August 2023 through January 2024, during which they discussed Willis and Wade. 

Bradley, Wade's former law partner and divorce attorney, allegedly told Yeager that Willis and Wade initiated their romantic relationship shortly after meeting at the 2019 Municipal Court Continuing Legal Education Conference, and that it continued through 2020, while Willis campaigned for district attorney. 

Yeager alleges Bradley shared that he had "personal knowledge" of the affair and included details regarding the use of Robin Yeartie's apartment and other meetings before November 2021, when Wade and Willis claim their relationship started.

The Cobb County prosecutor also claims she overheard a September 2023 phone conversation between Willis and Bradley discussing an article about how much money Wade and his law firm had earned from working on the election interference case.

The judge heard closing arguments Friday on allegations that Willis benefited financially from her affair with Wade and should be disqualified from her case against former President Donald Trump. 

Willis and her office are leading the sweeping racketeering cases against the former president and 18 co-defendants. Several co-defendants, including Shafer and Michael Roman, earlier this year accused Willis of hiring Wade while they were romantically involved and that she benefited from his government salary through lavish vacations they took together. 

Willis and Wade have both denied the allegations and have claimed their romantic involvement started after Wade was hired in 2021. Willis claimed in court testimony that she would always reimburse Wade for her portion of their shared travels in cash. There are no receipts for those reimbursements, and one witness claimed their relationship started as early as 2019. 

Last month, Bradley testified under oath regarding what he knew about Willis and Wade's personal relationship. He took the stand after McAfee determined Bradley could not claim attorney-client privilege.

Bradley, when pressed under oath, said he could not recall several details and timelines about conversations he had with former client Wade about Wade's romantic relationship with Willis.

Bradley said he could not recall key details or specific information more than two dozen times in the roughly two-hour testimony in Fulton County Superior Court on Tuesday. He also said he had only ever discussed Wade's relationship with Willis once with Wade.

After hearing all the arguments and testimony, McAfee said he would issue a decision in the next two weeks.
