Star witness admits to bombshell that leaves judge 'wondering'

Star witness for the defense team Terrence Bradley revealed late in questioning Friday afternoon that he was accused of sexual assault by someone at the law firm at which he was a parnter, along with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
In questioning by state attorney Anna Cross, Bradley admitted that a large reason he left the law firm was because an employee at the firm accused him of sexual assault, though he denied the allegation.
Bradley indirectly admitted that he paid the employee who accused him.
The admission is key because earlier in his testimony Bradley testified that the reason he left the firm was related to Wade's divorce proceedings, and therefore covered by attorney client privilege, because Bradley served as Wade's divorce lawyer for a time.
Judge Scott McAfee said that Bradley's admission re-opens questions about what Bradley refused to answer about what he knew about Wade and Fani Willis' romantic relationship and when he knew. Bradley refused to answer citing attorney client privilege.
"Mr. Bradley previously testified that the reason he left the firm was totally and completely covered by privilege. When asked by the state, he went into a factual scenario that, to my mind, I don't see how it relates to privilege at all. And so now I'm left wondering if Mr. Bradley has been properly interpreting privilege this entire time," the judge said.
McAfee said he would schedule an in-camera hearing with Bradley to determine matters of privilege in the testimony.
Judge Scott McAfee adjourned the hearing after two days of testimony in the allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had an "improper" affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
The judge said he would hold an in-camera meeting with Terrence Bradley to discuss his testimony, some of which that the state argued was attorney client privileged.
Bradley revealed he was accused of sexual assault by an employee of the firm at which he was once partner at with Nathan Wade.
The state attempted to call a woman to the witness stand they said would testify to the allegations of assault - which Bradley denied - but the judge said that testimony was outside the scope of the rules of evidence for the hearing.
The state said the woman's testimony would impeach Bradley's credibility.
Judge McAfee said he would hold a summation hearing of all the evidence presented in the next week or two....
=========================
So the defense witness lied to the court about the reason he left his firm. Then he refused to say what he knew about Wade's Willis' affair. The Judge will find out if Bradley can claim attorney client privilege or not. These people
