Terrence Bradley, Wade’s former law partner and divorce attorney, testified Tuesday that he was “speculating” when he told Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, via text that Willis’ relationship with Wade began years before he was hired. Trump attorney Steve Sadow asked Bradley, who repeatedly stated during the hearing that he did “not recall” when the relationship started, why he would “speculate” about such a piece of information when he knew Merchant was trying to establish the timeline for her motion to disqualify the district attorney. ....

“Why would you speculate when she was asking you a direct question about when the relationship started?” Sadow asked.

“I have no answer for that,” Bradley said.

“Except for the fact that you do in fact know when it started, and you don’t wanna testify to that in court,” Sadow said. “That’s the best explanation.”
