Terrence Bradley wipes sweat off his face while being grilled on the stand
Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer, Terrence Bradley, was back on the stand on Tuesday after Judge McAfee said he is not protected by attorney-client privilege, and his testimony gives more evidence that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade lied on the stand about their relationship.
Watch a replay of Bradley’s full testimony earlier here.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Earlier this month, Fani Willis and Nathan Wade were subpoenaed to testify at an evidentiary hearing thanks to a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.
Judge Scott McAfee said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Nathan Wade.
Both Willis and Wade were on the same page when they testified earlier this month that they met at Willis’s home no more than ten times and started a relationship AFTER he was appointed to lead the Trump election interference case. However, The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that the attorneys for Trump and Roman geo-tracked Nathan Wade and found that Wade likely made at least 35 visits to Fani’s home BEFORE he was appointed to lead the case. They also discovered that the two exchanged over 2,000 voice calls and almost 12,000 text messages in the 11 months of January to November 2021 before Nathan Wade was hired.
Michael Roman’s lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant, questioned a squirming and sweating Bradley for an hour about his knowledge of his long-time friend, former law partner, and former client, Nathan Wade’s relationship with Fani Willis. She confronted him on text messages that he apparently sent to Merchant, where he admitted that Wade started dating Willis before she hired him!
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Bradley was sweating bullets on the witness stand as he was grilled about Wade’s relationship with Willis.

Bradley continues to claim he has “no direct knowledge of when the relationship started,” despite previously providing knowledge of the relationship starting before Fani Willis hired Nathan Wade.
Throughout the testimony, Bradley continued to assert that he “can’t recall” the answers to questions.
However, Roman’s attorneys brought the receipts!
Immediately after Bradley was sworn in, Merchant began asking him about text messages he sent admitting that the relationship started before Wade was hired and appointed to prosecute Trump. Bradley was hostile and refused to answer, claiming he didn’t remember or “cannot answer,” and his attorneys objected to all questions.
Watch Merchant’s questions from the beginning and end of the hearing below:
Bradley later claimed he was just speculating and did not recall how he knew this information when asked by multiple other attorneys. However, it does not appear that he ever told Merchant over text that he was speculating or did not know the specifics.
At the end of Merchant’s examination of the witness, she again asked him about these text messages, and he again acknowledged that they existed but refused to revise any previous testimony. He also apparently told Ashleigh Merchant that Nathan Wade and Fani Willis would deny the truth about their relationship:
Merchant: Do you recall me asking you, “Do you think it started before she hired him,” and you said, “absolutely?” Do you recall that?
Bradley: I see that in the text messages, yes.
Merchant: And do you also recall me asking you how they would react, if they would attack me? And you said, “No. They will deny it.”
Bradley: That’s written in there, yes.
Merchant: Is there any of your testimony from today or the previous days that you want to correct?
Bradley: No. I’ve answered everything that you’ve asked.

Topline: State governments spent $38.5 billion to increase Medicaid payouts in 2022, but there is little oversight of how the money is being used, according to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report.
Key facts: Typically, state governments send money to Medicaid Managed Care, which pays healthcare centers on behalf of patients as needed.
But since 2017, states have been allowed to send extra money directly to clinics to try and improve the quality of healthcare. The practice was originally meant to be used sparingly, but it’s becoming more common.
State governments spent over $38.5 billion on these “directed payments” in 2022, which are managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
But according to the GAO, there are “weaknesses” in “CMS procedures for approving such payments.”
The report says that CMS has “weak fiscal guardrails,” meaning states often do not keep track of whether a healthcare provider is using its funds effectively before sending it more money.
The GAO evaluated five states and found that none of them were “consistently” evaluating whether the extra billions of dollars spent on Medicaid were actually having an impact on patient outcomes. In Texas, some hospitals received more than double the standard amount of funds, with little to no oversight.
The causes of this issue varied. Some states had flawed data software; some were simply not “implementing best practices.”
CMS also has not set any clear limits on the amount of money a single healthcare provider can receive.
Background: Eighteen states each spent over $500 million on directed payments in 2022, with California and Texas each giving out almost $7 billion.
Most of the money came from taxes on private healthcare providers, while some came from state general funds and other sources.
The United States spent $804 billion on Medicaid overall in 2022.
Summary: States are gaining more influence every year over how Medicaid funds are dispersed, yet they don’t have enough systems in place to prevent potential wasteful spending.

Illegal aliens in Eagle Pass, Texas
In December Bloomberg reported that Venezuela’s violent deaths fell to a 22-year low on migration.
It appears Venezuela’s second most important export next to crude oil, is violent criminals.
Thousands of Venezuelan illegal migrants have flooded across the US border since Joe Biden took office.
As reported earlier, in late January, several Venezuelan migrants attacked New York police officers after they were asked to quit blocking the sidewalk near Times Square. The migrants fought back against the police officers knocking them to the ground and kicking them. The officers suffered minor injuries.
The violent migrants were then released back out on the street by New York officials without bail.
Joe Biden wanted to send the criminal aliens back home to Venezuela.
But deporting the criminal aliens back to Venezuela is no longer an easy task. Communist leader Nicolas Maduro recently announced his country is refusing to cooperate with deportation requests after Washington reimposed some of the economic sanctions it had previously lifted on Venezuela. The communist leader wants does not want them back.
Nobody respects Joe Biden not even the communists.

That’s when Elon Musk weighed in on the obvious Venezuelan strategy.
Elon Musk: The ability to discard your identification documents (from any country), walk across the southern border and claim “asylum” has turned America into a refuge for the world’s worst criminals!

Family Dollar Stores pleaded guilty on Monday to storing food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics in a rat-infested warehouse in West Memphis, Arkansas.
In a press release, the Department of Justice announced that the company agreed to pay a $41.67 million fine over the “insanitary conditions.”
“A criminal information unsealed today in federal court in Little Rock, Arkansas, charged Family Dollar with one misdemeanor count of causing FDA-regulated products to become adulterated while being held under insanitary conditions,” the press release explained.
The fine is the largest ever monetary criminal penalty in a food safety case.
The DOJ continued, “The company, a subsidiary of Dollar Tree Inc., entered into a plea agreement that includes a sentence of a fine and forfeiture amount totaling $41.675 million, the largest-ever monetary criminal penalty in a food safety case. The plea agreement also requires Family Dollar and Dollar Tree to meet robust corporate compliance and reporting requirements for the next three years.”
“When consumers go to the store, they have the right to expect that the food and drugs on the shelves have been kept in clean, uncontaminated conditions,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer. “When companies violate that trust and the laws designed to keep consumers safe, the public should rest assured: The Justice Department will hold those companies accountable.”
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division added, “Companies distributing and selling food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics must ensure that these products are being held in safe and sanitary conditions.”
“The Justice Department will continue to work closely with the FDA to investigate and prosecute those who put public health at risk by failing to meet this important obligation,” Boynton continued.
By pleading guilty, Family Dollar admitted that its Arkansas distribution center shipped to stores in Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
“According to the plea agreement, the company began receiving reports in August 2020 of mouse and pest issues with deliveries to stores,” the DOJ said. “By the end of 2020, certain stores reported receiving rodents and rodent-damaged products from the warehouse. The company admitted that by no later than January 2021, some of its employees were aware that the insanitary conditions caused FDA-regulated products held at the warehouse to become adulterated in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA).”
In January 2022, an FDA inspection found live rodents, dead and decaying rodents, rodent feces, urine, and odors, and evidence of gnawing and nesting throughout the warehouse.
