NEW: Judge Orders Wade Attorney to Testify in Fani Hearing

A judge has determined that Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer must tell the court what he knows about the special prosecutor’s relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis – a decision that could produce more bombshell testimony as defense attorneys seek to disqualify the DA from prosecuting the Fulton County election interference case.

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s chambers notified attorneys in the case by email late Monday that certain communications Terrence Bradley had with Wade are not protected by attorney-client privilege, according to numerous people who read the email. Bradley could be compelled to testify as soon as Tuesday afternoon. McAfee’s decision followed a closed-door meeting between the judge and Bradley on Monday that lasted nearly an hour and 20 minutes.

Based on how hard Wade tried to keep Bradley from testifying, I'd guess that he'll tell a story that matches up better with Wade's cell phone records than the story told by Wade and Willis did. They have a rapidly closing window to recuse from the case and hope McAfee lets them off the hook for perjury, if it's still open at all. But the state bar will take an interest in that no matter what they do now.
