Revealed: Trump team lawyer's texts show shadow effort to disqualify Fani Willis

Hundreds of texts show that there was a concerted effort to raise a threat of disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting the Georgia state 2020 election RICO criminal case against Trump and over a dozen co-defendants.

There were 413 texts exchanged between a key witness, Terrence Bradley, and Ashleigh Merchant, an attorney for defendant Michael Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants, helping her build a case that suggested the prosecutor engaged in an improper romance, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution who reported acquiring the text message evidence.

Bradley helped Merchant's defendant prepare efforts to dismiss Willis by accusing her of misconduct by hiring personal injury attorney Nathan Wade as a special prosecutor in the sweeping criminal case and then carrying on a romance that had them spending suspected taxpayer funds on lavish trips to Napa Valley and the Caribbean.

Bradley took the witness stand on Tuesday and was grilled by various defendants' lawyers about the Willis and Wade's affair.

And while he seemed to be short on memory, the text messages show a bolder Bradley who in a January text called them “arrogant as f----.”

Before she filed her motion that exposed the relationship, Merchant asked Bradley point blank when the Willis and Wade began dating.

Merchant asked: "Do you think it started before she hired him."

“Absolutely,” he told her.

She also supplied Bradley with an unfixed draft of her motion to suss out any errors and he noted she should include some income he earned from the DA.

“Anything else? Anything that isn’t accurate?” she asked him in a text.

“Looks good,” Bradley answered.

Merchant had claimed that she would try to keep Bradley's identity anonymous telling him she "protected you completely" in the document she filed.

“I am nervous,” reads a Merchant text from Jan. 8 — the day she filed her motion. “This is huge.”

“You are huge," Bradley told her. "You will be fine. You are one of the best lawyers I know. Go be great.”

Ultimately Merchant subpoenaed Bradley.

“I will leave you out but think if I don’t subpoena you it would look fishy,” according to a Jan. 24 text. “What do you want me to do?”

“I’m ok with it,” Bradley wrote back.

Bradley also guided Merchant on potential staffers at the DA's office and even her security detail, texting her: “Subpoena them all."
