A co-defendant in Georgia's 2020 election interference case says a new witness is prepared to testify against Fani Willis if evidence is reopened as part of his disqualification proceedings.
David Shafer, former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, filed a notice of proposed testimony in Fulton County Superior Court announcing that Cobb County Co-Chief Deputy Prosecutor Cindi Lee Yeager was prepared to appear as a witness , FOX 5 Atlanta reported. .
According to the filing, Yeager claims to have had “numerous” interactions with the defense's star witness, Terrence Bradley, and can corroborate his claims that Willis began an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade years earlier than they both claimed.
“Mr. Wade had definitely begun a romantic relationship with Ms. Willis around the time Ms. Willis was running for District Attorney from 2019 to 2020,” a summary of Yeager's offered testimony states.

The motion informs the court that Yeager contacted Shafer's attorney after viewing Bradley's testimony. She told attorneys about alleged in-person and other conversations she had with Bradley from August 2023 to January 2024, during which they discussed Willis and Wade.
Bradley, Wade's former law partner and divorce attorney, allegedly told Yeager that Willis and Wade began their romantic relationship shortly after meeting at the 2019 Municipal Court Continuing Legal Education Conference, and that It continued into 2020, while Willis campaigned for district attorney.
Yeager alleges that Bradley shared that he had “personal knowledge” of the affair and included details regarding the use of Robin Yeartie's apartment and other meetings before November 2021, when Wade and Willis claim that their relationship began.
The Cobb County prosecutor also claims to have heard a telephone conversation in September 2023 between Willis and Bradley discussing an article about the amount of money Wade and his law firm had made working on the interference case electoral.

During this alleged conversation, which took place before Bradley was subpoenaed as a witness against Willis, Yeager claims he heard the prosecutor tell Bradley: “They're coming after us. You don't need to tell them about us.”
The motion states that Yeager agreed to come forward after finding that Bradley's testimony at Willis' disqualification hearing did not match what he had allegedly told her.
“Therefore, in the event the Court reopens the hearing to receive additional evidence, as requested by the State and former President Trump, Mr. Shafer requests that the defense be permitted to subpoena Ms. Yeager and to present the testimony of Ms. Yeager relating to the matters set forth herein,” the motion states.
It is unclear whether Judge Scott McAfee will reopen the evidence to allow Yeager's testimony to be admitted.

The judge heard closing arguments Friday on allegations that Willis benefited financially from her affair with Wade and should be disqualified from her lawsuit against former President Donald Trump.
Willis and his office are leading the vast racketeering cases against the former president and 18 co-defendants. Several co-defendants, including Shafer and Michael Roman, accused Willis earlier this year of hiring Wade even though they were in a romantic relationship and that she benefited from his government salary through lavish vacations they took together.
Both Willis and Wade denied the allegations and claimed their romantic relationship began after Wade was hired in 2021. Willis claimed during her court testimony that she would always reimburse Wade for his portion of their joint trips in species. There are no receipts for these reimbursements and a witness claimed their relationship began as early as 2019.
