Attorney Steve Sadow, representing former President Donald Trump, spoke in court on Friday, March 1, 2024, in Atlanta. The hearing aimed to determine if Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed from the case due to her relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she appointed for the election interference case against Trump
Sadow expressed serious doubts about the credibility of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. He argued that these doubts are significant and should lead to their disqualification from the election case.
He highlighted testimony from Robin Bryant Yeartie, a former acquaintance of Willis, who stated that she was certain Willis and Wade began a romantic relationship shortly after meeting in 2019. Additionally, Sadow referenced a text message from Terrence Bradley, a former law partner of Wade and a divorce attorney, to defense counsel Ashleigh Merchant. In the text, Bradley affirmed his belief that Wade’s relationship with Willis had commenced before she hired him in November 2021.
Willis and Wade affirmed under oath that they initiated their relationship in the spring of 2022.
Sadow additionally added that the District Attorney engaged in forensic misconduct during a speech she delivered in January at a historic Black church in downtown Atlanta. In her address, Willis suggested that her critics were employing racially charged tactics by scrutinizing Wade, who is African American.
Sadow contended that the District Attorney deliberately sought to influence the perception of the defendants and their legal representation among potential jurors.
