curious examination of how nathan wade carried out his businesses and travels. he said he put everything on his credit card and then fani willis paid him back in cash which he never declared on his taxes. here is wade talking about their financial arrangement. >> what i allege is -- what i allege is our travel was split roughly evenly, so where you see i have booked a flight or paid for a flight with my credit card, what you don't see is that she covered her own flight. >> we've seen nathan wade on the stand, will we see fani willis? that is up to the judge. certainly a lot of blows against nathan wade and keep in mind the stakes in this case. the judge warned if there is ap appearance of conflict of interest, that could mean disqualification for d.a. and prosecutor she hired. >> harris: excellent reporting, steve. bring in leo terrell, top radio host and "fox and friends" news contributor. you and i have talked about this case leading up to it. what surprises? what blew your mind in the courtroom today? >> the bombshell is the witness who testified there was a p

affidavits with the court saying that their romantic relationship began after fani willis hired nathan wadel prosecutor in the trump case in november of 2021. -- said the romantic relationship began two years before that. >> do you know if miss willis and mr. wade started dating in october of 2019? >> i don't know if it was october of 2019. >> could it possibly be november of 2019? >> it could possibly. >> that is the most important testimony introduced today by the defendants side of this argument. nathan wade began working for fani willis on november 1st, a 2021. any romantic activity between them before that time would prove that they had lied under oath to the court in affidavits about when the romantic relationship began. >> (inaudible) and so without going into all the painstaking details, there is no doubt in your mind that from 2019 until 2022, miss willis and mr. weighed were in a romantic relationship? >> what is the question? >> you have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time we spoke with her? >> no doubt. >> and that is based on yo

fani willis and nathan wade both testified that their romantic relationship began after nathan wade beganoffice. here was former governor barnes testimony about why he didn't want the job of a special prosecutor, that eventually went to nathan wade. he didn't want to be the special prosecutor of the man who tried to overturn the presidential election in georgia and sent a violent mob to attack the capitol on january 6th. >> i've lived with bodyguards for four years, and i didn't like it. i didn't want bodyguards for the rest of my life. >> so the terrorism of donald trump and his mobs worked in that particular instance. there it was shocking testimony and that late afternoon today when terrence brightly, who was nathan wade's low partner, and was the first lawyer involved in handling nathan wade's divorce took the witness stand and testified he did have communication with the trump team lawyer who filed this motion against fani willis. but that wasn't the shocking part. the shocking part came on cross examination by fani willis's lawyer who revealed what terrence brightly might have been

one testified that nathan wade and fani willis were a couple three years before they said they were. wade's testimony played out live on the "focus" yesterday and district attorney willis was up next. hard to tell when she was playing defense and when she was playing offense. >> i probably had some choice words about some of the things you said that were dishonest within this motion. mr. wade is a southern gentleman. i very much want to be here so i'm not a hostile witness. >> it would be an adverse witness. your interests are opposed to miss merchant's. >> her interests are contrary to democracy, your honor, don't be cute with me in here and think you won't get an answer. you have been intrusive into people's personal lives. you think i'm on trial. these people are on trial for trying to steal an election. you have lied. you lied here, i think you lied right here. no, no, no, this is the truth, judge. it is a lie. it is a lie. mr. wade is used to women that as he told me one time, the only thing a woman can do for him is make him a sandwich. we would have brutal arguments about the f

>> that's correct >> that's because nathan wade steered that contract to you >> i don't know how it came about, but it was presented to me at the office about the contract, correct? >> oh presented it to you, mr. wade >> yes >> is that he owed you money you said at one point say that again owed you money at one point >> i don't recall saying that he owes me money. >> did he owe you money at one point? >> not that i recall saying that mr. way owes me are owed me money. i don't recall ever saying that >> i didn't ask whether you ever said that. i said did he owe you or did he owe you money in the past? >> no, he didn't owe me money >> and so he steered this contract to you to your office and you weren't really talking to him and talked him for two years >> the contract was in 2021. i didn't leave until 2022 so you didn't talk within that whole time >> i left in 2022. i haven't really spoke to him since 2022 is what i stated when i left june of 2022, around june august dates of 2022 other than you're going to one will question. other than your attorney, who do you speak with today about giv

the last question i asked you was, what did nathan wade tell you about the relationship? >> objection. >> and that's already been ruled upon i. >> recall >> him stating >> that at some point they were dating i can't tell you what date that was. it was made in confidence. we were in the back of our office. our officers were the only two in the back. there was no one else present that is all i can tell you at this time. >> one time >> one time >> you only had a conversation with him one time about the relationship? >> objection. asked and answered. >> no. i think that's clarify for their own sitting cross, ms merchant? >> i do not recall any other time that he mentioned that they were in a relationship. know okay so other than so you talked about this one time and you said you don't know when it was that, correct? >> that is correct. >> was it before mr. wade before you've got the contract in fulton county, let's start with that. >> i did not recall and come up say again, how did it come up >> do not recall how it came up it was in the back. i know it was i know where it oc

nathan wade, it's earned more than $650,000 from working on this case. and those defendants and co-defendants are trying to seize on the opportunity. trump has said that wade has used that money to take willis on several lavish vacations. other defendant had the same thing about the issue it's a matter of extraordinary consequence. i want to bring in cnn's nick valencia here because this is not just a matter of a overall mess or someone trying to suggest nick that this is somehow salacious details the consequences here. if fani willis is disqualified from this, it doesn't then just go what are the next person, right it goes it goes away. >> could and let's be clear, it's not just whether or not they had a relationship, whether or not fani willis personally benefited financially from this it's personal relationship. we know that she was taken out of state. we know that she was taken on lavish vacations cruises, trypsin, napa valley, things like that. so if the judge who's presiding over this case, scott mcafee he's allowed this hearing to go forward. she w

he was asked when he met nathan wade? >> did you meet mr. wade in 2019? >> absolutely not. >> year 2020? >> absolutely not. >> you see mr. wade at miss willis's house in 2021? >> never. >> both sides trying to make the point if nathan wade was hired before or after their relationship began. finances under scrutiny. wade would pay with credit card and get reimbursed with no receipts given. the judge warned disqualification for two of them is a possibility. back to you. >> harris: thank you. emily, can you refresh us and make i it clear the timing of this. why it is crucial to know if nathan wade was hired as special prosecutor on the trump case before or after they got together, why is that so important? >> emily: there were 19 defendants in a case in fulton county brought, one of them president trump. as it emerged later, what we learned from divorce proceeding under seal in the court by special or lead prosecutor, they had been in a relationship and not only in a relationship, but it looked like they had used funds, taxpayer funds to augment and go on tr

and that is nathan wade. was asked on this dan john, if he's willing to allow that to go away, he said no he is not going to give up the attorney-client privilege. and here we are, america in a waiting game, still waiting for other witnesses, but more importantly, we are waiting to see if this judge feels that they have made their case, that they can disqualify fani willis based on a conflict of interests no, >> absolutely. and thank you for putting the big picture in there. that's what this all about. but in the immediacy, we are waiting to find out a if terrence bradley can be found to testify be how much of his testimony might be privileged and see if he's allowed to speak at all. what, if anything, does he know about this relationship and when it began between fani willis and nathan wade, laura coates. thank you for being here. let us know when we get any answers to any of these quite a lot of letters, john, a lot going on here we are waiting, we are waiting in the meantime to hear from president biden th

if i was the attorney against nathan wade and fani willis i would ask four questions.ith fani willis? did she co-has been tate with you? did it start prior to 2021 and fourth, did you tell other individuals? those are four yes and no questions i would ask if i was in that courtroom. >> harris: well, i will be watching, as you will be watching, to see if your great questions are a part of the proceedings. i don't know, they better have a box of tissues, you talked about all these two have on the line to lose. a new witness into the impeachment -- tony bobulinski gave insight into then president joe biden's ties to his son, hunter's business. the testimony bass damning. >> he talked about joe's involvement. the numerous times he talked to joe biden. he mentioned that joe biden thanked him for what he was doing with his brother and his son. >> tony bobulinski confirmed the big guy on an email to walker and hunter biden to all these folks doing business together, the big guy was, in fact, joe biden. >> the biden family has been cashing in his position of power in governmen

that he said was part of privilege discussions related to nathan wades divorce.but what this cross-examination elicited from parents bradley, it may judge mcafee really wonder if terrence bradley had been fully forthcoming in his testimony about those conversations being privileged. so this impeachment of terrence bradley on the sexual assault allegations by the state may judge mcafee ultimately say that he wanted to have further conversations with terrence broadly about whether his other conversations with nathan wade were in fact privileged. so that could really come back to bite the prosecution if it turns out that terrence bradley has some kind of information that is inconsistent with what the prosecution has put forward. with that said, however, it could be the case that the state thinks that terrence bradley, whatever information he has and is going to give judge mcafee, -- they might be concerned that he is not being honest about that information. and so they want to impeach his credibility by bringing up the fact that he had a falling out with nathan wade

she also doesn't need a man in the form of nathan wade to do our defense. she took the stand, waiving any objections to the subpoena served upon her to testify in this motion to disqualify, in order to clear her name and straight out of the gate, she made clear the evidence would show that she was corroborating what nathan wade said under sworn testimony earlier. that she and nathan wade did not begin a personal relationship until after he had been appointed special prosecutor. also importantly, that she pays her own way. that she is given cash to nathan wade to reimburse him for any type of personal trips they have taken. so under georgia law, quickly, you have to have an actual conflict of interest. it cannot be speculative or theoretical. at this point, the defense has not proven its burden that there's any conflict of interest at all. >> yeah, i think what they did prove is fani willis ain't nothing to play with, and i think donald trump's people should be shaking in their boots knowing they have to face that on the other side of their cases. let me pla

. >> do you know when fani willis and nathan wade met? >> specific dates, no, i know it was sometime at a conference. >> municipal court conference? >> correct. in october 2019, if it's been represented in the state's pleadings before that that's when they met, does that sound familiar? >> if that's -- if that's what they're saying, then absolutely, i know it was at a conference in -- i mean, it was at a conference. if you say it's 2019, i'll take you at your word. >> so it was at a -- what you're sure of is that it was at a municipal court's judge's conference. >> yes. >> when they were both municipal court judges. >> yes. >> so it's fair to say since she became district attorney, she was no longer a municipal court judge, so it had to have been before that? >> that they met? >> yes. >> yes. and was he teaching a class at this seminar? >> to my knowledge, he was. >> and was ms. willis, to your knowledge, attending this seminar? >> your honor, i'mgoing to object. he has no personal knowledge, he wasn't present. >> they put it at their ple

quite a few unexpected moments, john. >> john: yeah, nathan wade clearly was on the hot seat. answering a lot of questions that he never thought that he would have to answer. this idea saying he never had an affair during his marriage, but then he backdated of when his marriage ended. the divorce came through in 2022. he said it was 2015 when he and his wife decided there were irreconcilable differences but for the good of the children, they were going to stay together. >> heard that a couple times. great to be with you. set your dvr, never miss "america reports." i'm sandra smith. >> john: i'm john roberts. we will see you again tomorrow. the court proceedings continue with martha maccallum and "the story" right now. martha? >> martha: what a breaking news afternoon. get ready. fani willis, the person wh

you also filed as a solo nathan wade, pc, attorney, a larger first profit was $236,000, correct? >> yes, ma'am. >> and then in 2022, you filed as a practitioner, nathan wade, and your gross income was $262,000, correct? >> yes, ma'am. >> i'm not going business and got here. >> but nowhere in these documents, you document that you received cash payments from as well as, correct? >> i don't i hadn't looked through them. i'd be surprised if if there were something in it said they want to look, throw listen to the answer. >> i'd be >> shocked if there was something in there that said that i receive some cash from ms willis >> but there is itemized expenditures for travel in here. you did itemize that? >> i didn't itemize anything. my itemized it. >> i hope so. >> but you're responsible for your taxes even if your account biles them, right? >> i agree and so you itemized your expenses for travel that you did not itemize you didn't put anything in there about you being reimbursed for half of that travel >> well, those are those business returns? >> yes. you use your business >> card to

the judge called back nathan wade's former law partner in a sign he could challenge sworn testimony of both wade and willis, which could mean somebody was not telling the truth on the stand. welcome, this is "outnumbered," harris faulkner here with kayleigh mcenany and emily compagno. and host of kennedy, kennedy. and host of doug collins podcast, >> douglas: here. we begin with steve harrigan with details on this case. we were talking last hour, it is a surprise, but what is coming up, that is what we want to know. >> steve: we do want to know, we want to know if he will come out and say nathan wade and fani willis are lying. he was nathan wade's old divorce attorney and said everything was atto attorney-client privilege. the judge took him behind closed doors and now will he say he's a liar under oath? if so, there could be trouble for the d.a.'s office. >> i want to be clear, my credibility is being evaluated. we were friends, we hung out. in november of 2021, i hired him. i do not consider to our relationship to become romantic until 2022. >> when did this relationship become roman

the courtroom saga has delivered explosive allegations and the latest twist involves nathan wade's divorcettorney, terrence bradley. he will be back on the stand after the judge determined some of bradley's communications with wade are not covered by attorney/client privilege. >> sandra: lawyers for the defendants in the election racketeering case are expected to hammer bradley over the timeline of willis and wade's romantic affair. the two maintain under oath their relationship started after willis hired wade to prosecute former president donald trump. >> when did your romantic relationship with miss willis begin? >> 2022. around march. >> i do not consider our relationship to have become romantic until early of 2022. i'm saying some time between february and april of 2022. >> sandra: bring in our legal panel now, andy mccarthy and leo terrell, both are fox news contributors, what are your expectations as we see the judge taking the seat there in the courtroom. >> well, three reasons i guess why you would say the attorney/client privilege didn't apply. either the communications were not a

her of having an inappropriate romantic relationship with a special prosecutor on her staff named nathan wade accuse d.a. willis of hiring mr. wade in order to enrich herself with lavish vacations and other gifts mr. wade bought for ms. willis. in a legal filing two weeks ago d.a. willis admitted to having a relationship with mr. wade, saying it began only after she hired mr. wade to work on this case in 2022. now, today's hearing began with an explosive allegation from a former friend of d.a. willis who claimed willis has lied about when the relationship began. >> you have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 to the last time you spoke with her? >> no doubt. >> did you observe them do things that are common among people having a romantic relationship? >> yes. >> such as? can you give us an example? >> hugging, kissing, just affection. >> that was a balk shell of the morning. fani willis and nathan wade potentially lied to the court in their filings about when their relationship began. the rest of the hearing mostly revolved around the question did fani willis ben

with elections of version in 2020 and now she is facing these questions as well as we just heard nathan wade, one of the lead prosecutors on the case, facing questions as well. there are some conflicting bits of information key bits of information that are of considerable interest to the defendants in this case is they are trying really to use this to their advantage and they might very much be able to. >> and let's put it into context. the implications here for this case could be huge if the da is dismissed it may be hard to find another prosecutor that want to take on such a complex brawling rico case, not to mention one that is politically fraught. i mean, the da has gotten threats to her life. so going up against those co-defendants, including the former president's, some of the rhetoric that we've heard from him, it would not be an easy task for anyone to take on this case if willis is dismissed? so the entire case potentially is at play here. we have a star-studded panel of folks to discuss all the legal implications of willis testifying. let's go to laura coats and talk about specific

willis was questioned about the details of her relationship with nathan wade, whom she hired as specialnsel in the trump case. willis's testimony influenced the course of the case. it is alleged that... she personally benefited from her personal relationship with wade in the form of romantic trips. this was first stated by trump's co-defendant michael roumin to his lawyer in order to have prosecutor willis removed. as a result, the fate of the case trump in georgie would be in question. when asked who paid for the two's vacation, wade and willis both said they split the costs between them and that she reimbursed him for his expenses. lawyers suggest that willis personally benefited from wade's involvement in the case, she received b... did you use your card to pay for a flight to california and a hotel? yes, i did it, then she gave me some money. $800 for a hotel stay in napa valley, $3,000 for a royal package on a cruise, payment for a norwegian cruise to aruba buying flowers and so on and so forth, can he pay all these bills just thanks? how they hired tom when they started before or

i got to tell you, the testimony today from nathan wade and fani willis didn't help them and wade came across trying to avoid answering questions and fani willis came across as so arrogant and so obnoxious even arguing with the lawyers constantly and the judge, you know, at one point the judge admonished her and said he was going to have to strike her testimony if she didn't change her behavior. elizabeth: it was a bad day. what hans said, francey, nathan wade and willis are saying that fani willis paid him back in cash for thousands of dollars worth of luxury travel? really? and he only has one receipt as proof. really, no receipts? venmo has been around since 2009. zelle started in 2017: why not just use that? that would have shown a paper record that they did do these reimbursements but wade said he can't even recall traveling with fani willis in 2021. really? that's because it would have given away they were together before when they claimed their relationship began? >> well, liz, fani willis blew that defense out of the water. she said she was staying at a friend's apartment and t

your business returns with the law firm of nathan wade only, correct? >> i filed personal and business, yes, ma'am. >> and even though you said you were partners with bradley and campbell later on, you filed your business returns not with them but as a solo practitioner correct? >> i see where you're going. there's a different return for the wade bradley campbell entity. >> i'm not asking about that. 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, you filed a business return for the law firm of nathan wade? >> yes, ma'am. >> and in 2019, you said that the law firm of nathan wade made $184,000, correct? >> i don't know. >> does that sound familiar? does that sound about like what you made in 2019 and reported on your taxes as a business law firm? >> if that's what's on the return, yes, ma'am, you're right. >> i'm happy, i can bring that up. i'm not planning on introducing tax returns. may i approach. >> yes. >> thank you. so in 2019, gross profit for the law firm of nathan wade is $184,000, correct? >> let's see. it's the second line number gross profit. >> yes, ma'am, 184,8

another question about why did fani willis and nathan wade testify? what they testified to and does this ultimately way the mind of the judge who is the one who makes the call as to whether or not she should be disqualified. >> so when will he hold his next hearing? >> and what is that? >> bird? then of proof really hear the burden is on the defense attorneys in this case on trump's lawyers and the rest of the defendants that are alleging this improper relationship. look, march 1, just got an order down today from judge mcafee says, i want to have this hearing and in this issue of did nathan wade and fani willis potentially perjure themselves? were they intentionally obtuse in their testimony may come up in that hearing. take a listen to what nathan wade said though, when they testified publicly last week about whether or not he ever spent the night at fani willis's house >> so you have gone to a condo with ms wilson hateful >> have you spent the night they're never never spent the night. never >> so these cell phone pings and sell data do show that n

into two key aspects of the misconduct allegations, the time line of willis's relationship with nathan wade and whether she benefitted from wade's position as special prosecutor. on thursday willis forcefully rejected that insisting she reimbursed wade with cash after he paid for trips they took. today her father testified that wasn't unusual. >> what i told my child from the time she was a child is always have some money, always have some money. if you go on a date so that people don't try to stick you and you want to leave whoever, always keep some cash, okay? >> i want to bring in msnbc's legal correspondent katie phang who is outside the fulton county courthouse, robert james is former district attorney for dekalb county, georgia, and kristy greenberg is a former federal prosecutor and was deputy chief of the criminal division for sdny. okay, katie, two witnesses today, former governor barnes, fani willis's father. what's the big headline so far? >> reporter: yeah, so i think the defense continues to not carry its burden of being able to prove that there is an actual conflict of interes

, also former business partner for nathan wade.'ve worked out the attorney/client privilege issues that were all tangling things up yesterday at the start of the hearing, if you are michael roman's attorney who brought this allegation forward and are trying to get the case dismissed on all of this, what needs to happen today? >> michael roman did everything he could being the cyber sleuth he is to try ask basically extract information from mr. wade's divorce proceedings to try and lead them to a victory to give them the dots to make a connection, and the attorneys haven't done it, and they need to. and so to andrew's point and what most lawyers who are now familiar with disqualification law in the state of georgia are saying, you have to actually make a connection that is going to create an actual conflict. these pieces, these suggestions, these inferences that have led us to this point are not sufficient to get us to a point of disqualification. so if you want the disqualification that you've moved for, you've gotten a hearing tha

she and nathan wade had with their relationship here does this testimony in a significant way effect do you think the perceived legitimacy of the case in georgia and beyond? >> so i don't know. again, i think that depends on where you are ready. we're approaching the case. of course, there were people already who felt that the case was partisan. it was politically motivated for example, when fani willis wanted to charge one of an elected official as an electric coconspirator, he got his charges kind of put on hold because fani willis had raised funds for his political opponent ahead of the 2022 elections. so there are people who already had felt that there were missteps from the district attorney and they said that's the cation that that perhaps she didn't have the peers motivations. this feeds into that. this has been very high-profile. it has been damaging, not only to public perception of the case, but to public perception of the district attorney as an elected official who i should note is up for reelection that being said? i don't think it's disqualifying. i don't think in and o

willis and nathan wade now. >> which means what for him? katie, how effective has he been as a witness. his behavior would suggest what to you? >> that is important. because the judge in an evidentiary hearing is not only the person who understands the law but he has to apply the facts to the law and judge is the credibility person in this case. he's deciding whether the credibility of those witnesses passes muster. i would say the thing about terrance bradley, toward the end of the last round of questioning that he did admit he would have lied and he would have passed along lies about a friend even as a lawyer. i think that old adage, the devil makes work of idle hands because he passed along gossip. he said, no i think he did say, i was speculating when i made these statements. the real question and the gut check is this. is terrance bradley willing to risk his bar license to take the stand and lie for nathan wade and fani willis, because i would say no. he's not going to lie for them. is there a very small carve out in a judge macafee fo

let's listen. >> my name is nathan wade. >> good morning, mr. wade. >> good morning. >> prior to filing this motion to disqualify you and i were friends, correct? >> yes. >> and i supported you when you ran for judge in 2016. >> you did. >> i wore your shirts, my kids wore your shirts. >> in your personal opinions have no relevance. i mean that in the best way. let's get to the point. >> thank you. you filed for divorce from your wife on november 2, 2021. >> yes, ma'am. >> and in that divorce proceeding, did you file answers, things such as interrogatories. >> i did. >> and so interrogatories where you are responding to things that basically answers the other side is asking. >> yes, ma'am. >> and i've got your complaint for divorce. i will mark it for the record as defendant's exhibit 2. the first interrogatories that you answered were december 27th, 2021, is that right? >> thereabouts. >> and those you were asked different things but those are sworn. you swear to those and verify them, right? >> yes, ma'am. >> and so that verification is where

fani willis and nathan wade were in a romantic relationship, correct? >> correct. >> and it began at the time they were both municipal court judges, correct? >> objection, your honor. based on privilege. >> no further -- okay, overruled. >> i do not have knowledge of it starting or when it started. >> you told me it started when they were both municipal court judges though, correct? >> that is incorrect. >> you never confirmed in writing that it was instead of magistrate court, municipal court when they started dating? >> if you're speaking of the text message, you can go to that text message and read that text message and i will explain the text message to you. but you and i did not have a conversation about when it start. you asked a compound question of magistrate court versus -- i mean, you said it was magistrate court, municipal, i mean, you said magistrate court conference, i'm sorry. and then you asked another question. i said no. municipal court. nothing else. >> i'm referring to a different conversation. i asked you do you think it started befo

the former divorce lawyer for special prosecutor nathan wade has been ordered back to the stand. this time to answer more questions about the intimate relationship between willis and wade. it's all part of an effort to get willis disqualified and removed from the election interference case against the former president donald trump. senior correspondent steve harrigan is live in atlanta. what do we expect when attorney terrence bradley returns to the stand today? >> sandra, i think anticipation is so high for this witness. the defense attorney said this is our star witness, the person who is going to come and show us how willis and wade were lying about when their relationship started, they lied under oath. when he was on the stand last time, clear he did not want to be there. he claimed attorney/client privilege. the judge pulled him behind closed doors for an hour and a half yesterday, now he's going to come back. this could either be 0 or 10 for the defense, no one knows. another thing the judge has to decide, will he admit cell phone records from the prosecutor, nathan wade. ab

as for the claim that nathan wade was not qualified for the job, fani willis cites a litany of nathan qualifications. and notes that when nathan wade ran for unelected traditional post-mike roman's own lawyer was a vocal and visual presence in support of nathan wage campaign. as evidence of that fact, d.a. willis even includes this photo of mike roman's lawyer in a nathan wade campaign t-shirt, which the lawyer posted to social media with the caption, vote nathan j weighed! d.a. willis argues that her relationship with mr. wade is not automatically disqualify. it is worth noting that there are at least two personal relationships among the collection of defense attorneys representing the defendants. and then she goes on to name names. so, that is the defense for district attorney fani willis. did she break any laws? well, it seems like the answer could reasonably be no. as former senior justice department official andrew weissmann notes, the new fani willis briefs supporting f but david and exhibits are so powerful you wish the substance was public right after the allegations, so as to

also testified that his daughter was in a relationship with a deejay in 2019 and he had never met nathan wade from 2019 onward, which contradicts the testimony of former fulton county employee robin yeerty who claimed that willis and wade started their relationship in 2019. despite all of the salacious details of the defendant's lawyers have ginned up to seemingly fuel donald trump's social media posts, it is yet to be seen if these lawyers have successfully provided any evidence, any evidence at all to support their misconduct claims. joining me now from the courthouse in atlanta is katie phang, trial attorney and host of the katie phang show on msnbc. katie, what struck me today about mr. floyd's testimony is it was a class for many americans in the lives of black folks and the things you do, keeping cash at home. there's a piece where he talked about not being able to, you know, have his credit cards accepted when he went to shop when he was in cambridge. i thought he was brilliant. what dud you make of his testimony? >> yeah, there were two very powerful aspect of john floyd's testimony.

to lead this case, even though nathan wade had never tried a felony, criminal prosecution nathan wade then proceeded to be paid a lot of money by the taxpayers of fulton county. some of which made its way through the relationship to fani willis, but fani willis and nathan wade claim know he was hired first on merit, then their romantic relationship started. none of this was planned or intentional and more to the point, jim, the bigger issue now is fani willis and nathan wade have both testified and sworn under oath that their romantic relationship didn't start until after nathan wade came on board onto this case. if that turns out to be true, then that should put it an end to this issue. but if that turns out to be false, there's gonna be major problems for nathan wade and fani willis. >> and so what do you think? i mean, does this end up with fani willis having to leave this case? how remote of a possibility is that it's really hard to tell right now, jim, because it's important to keep in mind while we've seen much of the proceedings happening live on tv hey, and there has been

nathan wade made it clear that there were three attorneys that were brought in for the prosecution. that money was split up between all three of them. attorney wade did not get 300,000. they just kept running the same questions from attorney wade to attorney willis on whether he was with her before 2021 from the only witness they had that this person said they had a relationship before which they found out it was not true. i think district attorney willis showed how important it is to correct misinformation given by these attorneys so we could credibly say she slept with this man before they even got together. the question that got me when they went to belize. she said her father taught her to save money. i am 64 years old and my mom taught me you always keep money in the house and i am quite sure americans from my generation were taught that and do that. host: that is david there let us hear from howard on the democratic line. caller: yes, good morning. i was very impressed with the das testimony. it was unexpected as the drama unfolded. i hope it makes clear to the public, the -- w

this is a tight case that she and nathan wade have put together. to be clear here the reason that makes this case so tight are the witnesses that are said to testify on behalf of the state. we are talking about conservative republicans. >> they are all republicans. >> people who supported donald trump who wanted donald trump to win and they will testify under oath and on camera to the of efforts that donald trump took to overturn the will of georgia voters even after a hand recount certify the election. that is what is happening here. we all have to be clear about that. >> i think that is exactly right, alicia. you find yourself in this vortex largely created by trump and his lawyers. mixing up the names and the game, right? to get everyone confused about who is doing what. at the end of the day, i think he's got it right, witnesses in this case or not democrats. they are not joe biden. they are not his justice department. it is his republicans who wanted him an offense. it is going to be interesting to see how we get this -- how it all squares out

nathan wade in his divorce proceedings he was very contrarian. he did not want to testify. he was there under subpoena, made very clear you did not want to be there, had an issue of an attorney client privilege, and that was the crux of the issue, whether we could talk about anything. he had a testimony from ms years at who was somebody who was a former employee of the da's office and former friend of fani willis. they tried to discredit her by talking about are having an ax to grind. but xi's spoke about when she said she had personal knowledge that fani willis and nathan wade were romantically involved here. the cheered say about what she personally observed >> did you observe them do things that are common among people having a romantic relationship? >> yes. >> such as can you give us an example >> hugging qizan, this infection. >> all we're all before november 1st of 2021, correct? >> yes >> now, this is so important right now and bring in zach cohen is a thing right now. is zach. let's reorient for a second where we are and why we're here. if not to watch a bravo house

bradley is the former law partner, former divorce lawyer for special prosecutor nathan wade. yers for trump and his co-defendants hope bradley's testimony will show willis and wade had a romantic relationship before she hired him to work on this case, which they say would destroy willis and wade's credibility and could be grounds for removal. joining us now is msnbc's katie phang, and catherine christian and dave aronberg, state attorney for palm beach county. judge mcafee here already heard days worth of testimony, we brought it live to our viewers. what does it tell you that he still wants to hear from terrence bradley again? >> yeah, so that's a great question. because yesterday judge mcafee met with terrence bradley and terrence bradley's lawyer for 90 minutes behind closed doors in what we call an in camera meeting, within chambers meeting. during those 90 minutes, judge mcafee indicated publicly he was going to explore terrence bradley's understanding of the scope of the attorney-client privilege. he used to be the former divorce attorney and law partner for nathan wade.

posted is to social media with a caption, vote for nathan wade. e is not automatically disqualifying. it is worth noting that there's four summit when ships among the collection of defense attorneys representing the defendants, and then she goes on to name names. that is the defense from district attorney fani willis. did she break any laws? it seems like the answer would reasonably be no. former senior justice department official andrew weissmann notes that the new fani willis brief, including supporting the affidavit, so powerful that he missed the substance -- but does that mean this is all over? unlikely. after all, d. a. willis is criminally charged by the former president -- and the stakes of this trial are enormously high. none of this is going to be quietly into the night. independent, there are a few other factors that day willis has to contend with. jones was a state senator in 2020. he served as one of the fake electors and georgia helping donald trump create bogus election documents to try and overturn joe biden's victory. and fani will

nathan wade is alleged to have had a romantic relationship. the big question is when it began with fulton county d.a. fani willis. wade and willis testified earlier this month that they started a romantic relationship after she decided to hire him as part of the georgia election interference team for the case against former president trump in georgia. let's bring in andy mccarthy, former u.s. assistants attorney. he's been watching us this afternoon. boy, terrence bradley is finding it hard to answer a lot of these questions. the attorneys have made very forceful efforts to try to trap him in lies here. how do you think they're doing and who is prevailing here, andy? >> i think the meandering questions, martha. you know, we've got a big ruling from the judge. we never really got a lawyer that i heard confirm what the judge ruled could be asked. which is nathan wade told this witness that he had an affair with fani willis. so i don't understand why when they started the hearing, the question is isn't it a fact that nathan wade told you had an a
