The prosecutor leading the Georgia criminal case against Trump is facing problems of her own. Allegations have hit Fani Willis that she hired her partner to work on the case. She paid him a higher salary, which he used to take them on vacations.

Nathan Wade’s attorney was called to testify about their relationship. It appears Willis is claiming she was not involved with the man before she hired him.

But text messages between Wade and Terrance Bradley suggest otherwise. Lawyers grilled the key witness while on the stand. And a revelation in court made him sink Willis with just one word.

From Fox News:
Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant at one point referenced text messages between her and Bradley in which she had asked Bradley if he thought the relationship started before Willis hired Wade in 2021. Bradley responded “absolutely” in the text exchange.

When confronted with a record of those texts in court Tuesday, Bradley appeared to mutter “dang.” But then he said he was “speculating” in those comments.

It appears Terrance Bradley had texted another attorney about Willis and Wade’s relationship. He stated that their relationship began in 2019, not in 2022 as Willis has claimed.

When confronted with those texts, the lawyer appeared to fumble, muttering “dang” under his breath. It is possible he was caught by his own text messages, despite what he claimed under oath.

Witness testimony as well as other pieces of information suggest Willis improperly hired her romantic partner to work on this case. She paid him a six-figure salary, more than the expert prosecutor who was also working on the case.

If the court rules against Willis, she might face penalties as strict as being disbarred. It would be likely that she will be removed from the case against Trump. Trump’s legal time might even have grounds to demand a mistrial, with the charges being thrown out.

It’s unclear what might happen at this point. But things don’t look good for Willis. Many accused her of pushing unwarranted charges against the former president, just to boost her political career. Instead, she might lose everything.
