Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said in comments Tuesday that the prosecution of former President Trump in the Georgia election interference case led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) has become more political. He said there was.
Georgia’s governor said he needed to be “careful” when talking about the topic, but given the recent scrutiny of Willis for admitting to a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the incident is “more political.” He also said that he believes he has become a target. The lawyer she hired for this case.
“I have to be careful what I say here because I was subpoenaed by Mr. Fani and Mr. Willis was selected to serve on the special grand jury,” Kemp said during an appearance on NewsNation on Tuesday. . “However, regardless of the merits behind the case, the actions of her, Mr. It’s hard to believe what happened.”
On Tuesday, Mr. Wade’s former lawyer, Terrence Bradley, took the stand again after the judge decided he needed to testify in more detail about Mr. Willis and Mr. Wade’s romantic relationship. Wade and Willis have both admitted to dating, but claim the relationship began after Wade was hired to work on the case.
Bradley appeared as the defense’s star witness, but during his court appearance Tuesday he denied knowledge of when Wade and Willis’ romantic relationship began.
“I don’t know when it started or when it started,” Bradley said.
Kemp, who was subpoenaed by Willis as part of the investigation, tried to have the subpoena rescinded in 2022, but a judge ruled in August of the same year that he must appear before a grand jury. .
Kemp said Tuesday that he trusts Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee’s judgment and expects him to make a “good” decision.
“I’m very confident that Judge McAfee will make a good decision and we can move on from there,” Kemp said.
