Fulton County hearing: Terrence Bradley's testimony
During the Fulton County hearing, Terrence Bradley was expected to provide testimony about the timeline of Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade's relationship. However, due to attorney-client privilege, he couldn't answer most questions. His concerns of being disbarred were based on potentially violating attorney-client privilege, not on anyone threatening him. The real issue at hand is whether the relationship between Willis and Wade started before or after she hired him as a special prosecutor.
