A key witness in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' affair case, Terrance Bradley, testified that his previous recollection of the timeline of the alleged relationship was "speculation."

Bradley, who is a former law firm partner and divorce attorney, testified on Tuesday regarding his knowledge about Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade's supposed affair. He took the stand after Judge Scott McAfee determined that he could not claim attorney-client privilege.

Key Witness Testifies on Fani Willis Affair

The individual, when pressed under oath, said that he could not recall several details and timelines regarding conversations that he had with Wade about the latter's romantic relationship with Willis.

At one point, defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant referenced text messages between her and Bradley. In them, she asked him if he thought that the Wade-Willis relationship started before the district attorney hired the special prosecutor in 2021. Bradley then responded "Absolutely" in the text exchange.

However, during his court appearance on Tuesday, Bradley said that he was merely "speculating" when he made those comments, as per Fox News.

The development is yet another potential setback to former United States President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case. The situation comes as defense attorneys are seeking to disqualify Willis by arguing that her supposed personal relationship with Wade creates an untenable conflict of interest.

Wade and Willis have repeatedly argued that their relationship started only after the district attorney hired the former in November 2021. On the other hand, Trump's lawyer has accused the two individuals of lying about their situation.

For several weeks, the defense had suggested that the key witness could provide crucial testimony that contradicts Wade and Willis' statements. However, when Bradley testified on Tuesday, he said that he did not know when the relationship actually started and that he never witnessed anything.

Making Speculations

Lawyers representing the former president and other defendants hammered at Bradley's credibility on Tuesday. They read aloud text messages that he wrote in January that appeared to suggest he had more knowledge of the prosecutors' relationship than he let on, according to the New York Times.

The latest testimony is Bradley's third time on the witness stand this month as part of a series of hearings that have threatened to upend Trump's potential prosecution. The defense has argued that Wade and Willis engaged in "self-dealing" because the special prosecutor spent money on vacations that he took with Willis while he was being paid by her office.

The accusations against Wade and Willis first surfaced last month in a filing made by Merchant, a lawyer for Michael Roman, a co-defendant of Trump in the Georgia case. The defense lawyer's attempts to disqualify the district attorney seemed to rely heavily on her recent communications with Bradley.

The judge in the case will ultimately have to decide if the prosecutors' relationship creates a conflict of interest in the appearance of one. McAfee will also have to decide whether or not Willis and her office should be removed from the case or if any charges should be dropped against Trump or his allies, said the Washington Post.
