Nathan Wade’s former law partner made statements on the witness stand that directly contradicted “numerous” conversations he had in private, according to a new Monday court filing.

Wade’s former law partner Terrence Bradley testified last week that he did “not recall” the answers to most questions posed by defense attorneys, including when the relationship between Willis and Wade began. However, Trump co-defendant David Shafer’s attorneys informed the judge Monday that they planned to submit the testimony of a new witness that would seemingly contradict Bradley’s testimony, should the court re-open the evidence on the motion to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

The witness, Co-Chief Deputy for the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office Cindi Lee Yeager, says she spoke with Bradley on a number of occasions between August 2023 and January 2024 about Willis and Wade, according to a proposed testimony.

“Ms. Yeager watched Mr. Bradley’s testimony before the Court and became concerned as a result of the fact that what Mr. Bradley testified to on the witness stand was directly contrary to what Mr. Bradley had told Ms. Yeager in person,” the filing states.

Yeager claims Bradley told her Willis and Wade began their relationship around when they met at a 2019 Municipal Court Continuing Legal Education Conference and had “definitively begun” a relationship by the time Willis was running for district attorney.

“Mr. Bradley stated that he had personal knowledge of the relationship between Mr. Wade and District Attorney Willis, and included details regarding the use of Ms. Robin Yeartie’s apartment and other meetings prior to November 2021,” the filing states. She stated that Bradley did not begin representing Wade in his divorce until November 2021.

At the first hearing in mid-February, Bradley continually asserted attorney-client privilege prevented him from disclosing details about the relationship between Willis and Wade. He claimed he had no personal knowledge.

After a closed-door meeting, Judge Scott McAfee determined that some communications between Wade and Bradley involving the relationship were not privileged and required Bradley to again testify.

Texts Bradley sent to defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant between September 2023 and January 2024 also revealed he shared details about the relationship and offered suggestions for who she could subpoena to confirm them, according to screenshots obtained by Atlanta-based attorney Phil Holloway.

Bradley claimed on the stand that he was “speculating” when he provided Merchant these answers.

Yeager’s proposed testimony also states that she was present in the room when Bradley received a phone call from Willis in September 2023, which was in response to an article published about how much Wade’s law partners had been paid by the county.

“They are coming after us,” Yeager reportedly heard Willis say. “You don’t need to talk to them about anything about us.”

McAfee indicated Friday after closing arguments that he would issue a ruling on the motion to disqualify Willis within two weeks.

Bradley and the district attorney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
