FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office confirmed a hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday in the election interference case.

Weeks ago, Bradley refuted Ashleigh and John Merchant’s allegations against Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade’s alleged relationship.
In a document obtained by Channel 2 Action News on Feb. 9, they alleged that Willis and Wade claimed to not have had a personal, romantic relationship before Willis appointed Wade as a special prosecutor in the case, but Terrence Bradley refuted that claim.
Bradley is an attorney and a member of the Georgia Bar.
Bradley and Wade were friends and business associates.
Bradley is said to have non-privileged, personal knowledge that the romantic relationship between Wade and Willis began before Willis was sworn in as the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia in January 2021.
