In a dramatic turn of events, two additional attorneys have come forward to offer testimony in the ongoing legal battle surrounding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' alleged relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Defense lawyers in the Trump election interference case continue their efforts to disqualify Willis and prove that the romantic involvement between the two began prior to Wade's hiring in November 2021.

The defense's star witness, Georgia lawyer Terrence Bradley, was pressed to provide evidence that the affair started before Willis took office. However, despite being questioned on multiple occasions, Bradley claimed attorney-client privilege with Wade, who had represented him in a previous divorce case, and stated that he couldn't recall the precise timeline of the relationship's beginning.

Now, following the conclusion of the hearing, two additional attorneys have expressed their willingness to testify that Bradley had informed them about the early start of the relationship between Willis and Wade. Manny Arora, who represented former Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, spoke highly of Bradley's professionalism and stated that Bradley had been specific and forthcoming about the relationship commencing earlier. Arora disclosed that he had initially considered filing a motion regarding potential misconduct relating to Willis and Wade but did not have sufficient time due to Chesebro taking a plea deal in October 2023.

A motion filed on Tuesday seeks to reopen the hearing to present this fresh evidence. The motion further asserts that Bradley informed Arora that the relationship began while Willis was running for district attorney, with Wade overseeing her transition into office. Another attorney, Cindi Lee Yeager, a co-chief deputy district attorney in Cobb County, allegedly spoke with Bradley regarding Wade and Willis' relationship. The filing submitted by lawyers representing one of Trump's co-defendants, Cathy Lathan, claims that Bradley told Yeager that the romantic involvement began during Willis' campaign for district attorney between 2019 and 2020.

The motion also notes that Yeager overheard Willis contacting Bradley in September after an article was published on the financial aspects of Wade and his law partners in the case. According to Yeager's account detailed in the defense filing, Willis allegedly told Bradley, "They are coming after us. You don't need to talk to them about anything about us." The context of this alleged call remains unclear but may raise doubts about Bradley's previous claim of not personally knowing Willis.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee is expected to deliver a ruling on whether Willis should be disqualified from the case within the next two weeks. Lawyers representing David Shafer, another co-defendant, have requested that McAfee allow Yeager to testify in the event that the hearing is reopened to consider additional evidence. The filing cites Yeager's concern over the contradiction between Bradley's testimony and what he had previously told her in person.

During the evidentiary hearing, both Wade and Willis confirmed the existence of a romantic relationship that began in 2022 and ended last summer. They have vehemently denied any wrongdoing and dismissed claims of financial benefits resulting from the affair, such as luxurious vacations. The district attorney's office has not yet responded to requests for comment.

As the case hangs in the balance, the testimony of these new attorneys may play a crucial role in determining the outcome, adding another layer of complexity to the already contentious legal proceedings.
