fighting back the fulton county da taking the stand in her own defense and ripping at the trump legal team apart we'll the judge let her stay on the case. plus trump's first criminal trial date is set beginning just weeks from now with a verdict in a criminal case as early as may, michael cohen, central player in the new york hush money case will be outfront tonight. new details this hour emerging about what may have caused the deadly mass shooting think at the kansas city chiefs super bowl celebration. i'll speak to a man who was shot along with his wife and child. what he saw just before the gunman opened fire. >> let's go oh, front and good evening and welcome to a special edition of outfront. i'm erin burnett and the breaking news tonight. i'm ready to go. those are the exact words of a defiant fani willis she is, of course, the georgia da overseeing trump's election interference case, and she took the stand for hours today in a high stakes tearing, which just ended a hearing that focused on her relationship

with nathan wade, who is her top prosecutor in the trump case. >> and it >> was a show trump and his allies lawyers pride into salacious, deeply personal details and willis his private life and willis did not back down, turning the tables on them how might feel it's like a woman didn't have the right to keep her private life private. and i'm speaking on this because it had been all these intimations, you've been intrusive into people's personal lives. you'll confuse, you think i'm on trial. these people who are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial >> that is though exactly what trump's legal team wanted, which was to put willis on trial, hoping that if they can get her disqualified, that will sink her case, which is into election interference to try to overturn an election. now, to be clear, the allegations against willis are serious yes if a person hire somebody, they're dating to help them financially using taxpayer

money, that is serious, extremely serious. it would be disqualified. but team trump >> did not provide any evidence that will is did any of that? of course, we do know that willis only hired nathan wade after several others refused the job but that did not matter when it came to the humiliating questions posed to willis today >> yes. when the romantic relationship ended, that's the question that it's sometime in i say late summer of 2023, but i don't believe me in what this what you really asking about this is the salaciousness of all of this right? >> now i'm just asking about your romans antique relationship when you stop dating. >> i asked him i think that me and mr. wade he's a man. >> he probably would say june or july. i would say we had a tough conversation in that mean relationships at the end of physical intimacy, women in

relationships, when that tough conversation takes place and >> where when did he come to, i guess the condo? i'm not sure what you probably condo apartment. would he come and stay at that condo or visit you there? i'm sorry. visit you there. >> what condo would apartment i want to be clear. >> so not your house. i know you classified one is house one is continent, so i'm trying to use those terms. >> there's been more than see what you don't understand is because of this case, i got to move and so i could ask him more precise questions, please? >> give me the time period. >> mr. wade visit you at the place you laid your head when as he ever visited you at the place you lay your head. so let's be clear because you've lied in this >> let me tell you which one i didn't write you. thank you. live right here >> no, no, no. this is a true judge and a lot lot as well >> to trump, but should be removed. but willis, again, testifying under oath, said that she did not need wade's

money while discussing the relationship did the forthcoming indictment have anything to do with that? or was it just a coincidence >> mr. let's go on ahead. the conversation. >> i've just asked you whether or not it was a coincide >> absolutely nothing thing to do with this. it's interesting that we're here about this money. mr. wade is used to women need as he told me one time. only thing a woman can do for him as make him a sandwich we would have brutal arguments about the fact that i am your equal i don't need anything from a man. a man is not a plan. a man is a companion. and so there was tension always in our relationship, which is why i was give him his money back. i don't need anybody to foot my bills. the only man who's ever put my bills completely is my daddy >> is there anything else you'd like to add to that? >> no. sure. i'm sure we'll

talk about it further. >> well, you see what i said to be clear, what trump's team wants to discuss has nothing to do with the actual facts of the case here, right? the facts of the actual case, the heart of all of this is whether trump and his allies it's about election interference, but they repeatedly tried to overturn in this election in georgia in 2020, nick valencia is outfront. he is live in atlanta to begin our coverage. nick, i think just from what we played there, anybody who didn't have a chance to watch throughout the day understands this was an incredible moment and it is not like something anybody in this country gets to see in a courtroom in a regular basis? a stunning day. fani willis takes the stand and all of this happens. you've got some new reporting. what are you learning now >> well, erin, it was stunning to see the da on the stand today and i just spoke to bishop reginald jackson, who spent the morning and with fani willis before court, he prayed with her and he said he wanted to offer her words of

encouragement and to him. he said fani woke up ready this morning to testify, an eager to meet this head on, but still it was just so surreal to see the da up there taking questions from defense attorneys, fani willis went out of her way to say that she wasn't the one on trial, but there were certainly moments during today's hearing where it sure felt like nothing very anxious to have this conversation with him today i ran to the courtroom, a defiant fulton county da fani willis, taking the stand today after weeks of fighting allegations that she personally benefited from our romantic relationships. she had with nathan wade, the special prosecutor. she hand-picked to spearhead the sprawling racketeering charges against donald trump and his allies >> i probably had some choice words about some of the things that you say that what is honest within this so i don't know that it was a conversation. as you know, mr. wade isn't southern gentlemen. me not so >> much willis, not hiding her anger over the allegations one point being called a hostile

witness by the defense. >> i'm very much want to be here, so i'm not a hostile witness. >> well, both weight and willis have admitted to the relationship they had. they say it began only after wade took the job that timeline also a major point of contention in the hearing today. before willis took the stand, the first witness of the day directly contradicted waited willis's previous statements to the court, you have no doubt that there romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with no doubt? >> that's three years earlier than with wade said in an affidavit, their relationship started, but wade holding firm to that date, when he took the stand, when he 22 was the start of any intimate sexual relationship with the district >> attorney as did willis. >> when did you start dating? >> when i started dating mr. way. it was right around then april 2020 22 around the i don't know. like, you know,

it's not like when you're in grade school, when you send a little letter and it says, will you be my girlfriend and you check it. >> but then there's the money trail, defense attorneys pressing on whether or not weighed paid for willis, where the two vacation together trying to suggest that he used money he made from his taxpayer funded college track at the da's office on willis both maintained that they split their vacation expenses. >> so all of the vacations that she took, she paid you cash for yes, ma'am. >> willis confirming the same in her testimony because we went out multiple times, that probably went to the level of more than $100. but if we're doing for tat like that probably paid for as many meals as he paid for. and so i did not receive any gifts from him. >> and at times forcefully pushing back with the defense attorney, who first launched the allegations. >> these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial >> today's hearing. got deep into the personal lives of both

willis and wade with at one point, the district attorney throwing nathan wade under the bus it's for allegedly making sexist remarks. willis, his testimony is expected to continue tomorrow in the 09:00 a.m. hour. but aaron, we are not expected to get a ruling anytime soon. it could be days judge scott mcafee, who's presiding over this case, is not expected to make a ruling from the bench erin. >> all right. thank you very much, nick and incredible de here. joe cohen is with me, a former fulton county prosecutor. he knows both fani willis and nathan wade also with us, karen friedman, agnifilo, ryan goodman, and laura coates, who is outside the fulton county courthouse. so daryl, let me start with you because you know, both of them and, you know, fani willis. well, did you expect her to get on that witness stand and do what she did to be so defiant to push back time and time again. she didn't let anything go they're in this case, never ceases to amaze me. it's a case of first impression that us lawyers like to say, but the reality is it's never happened

before. and i watched fani walk into that courtroom and he was walking in hot and she pushed back. i'm not at all surprised. i felt like we were watching a heavyweight fight or ashleigh merchant was swinging hard and fani was swinging back just as hard but the bottom line is, does it matter? does this take anything away from the facts of the case? my answer is it does not it's a sideshow that has legs for the moment. >> well, it's important i think you know, you say that aside so that his legs for the moment and karen, from start to finish, willis called out. she clashed with the defense attorneys. let me just play some more examples, including some of the ones that we just briefly saw there this would be close to me that the you glide on monday. and yet here we still ought to lie. that's one of your lives. you've been intrusive into people's personalized. you'll confuse, i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. no, no, no, no. this is a true judge and get a lot

>> we don't answer it since you said it, don't be cute with me. and then think that you're not going to get an answer. >> is there anger justified? >> i think so. i think what was lost today was the legal standard that the defendants have to meet in order to get the case just get her disqualified from the case, which is is there an actual or perceived conflict of interest? one that would have to do with money and a relationship. but we didn't hear any of that. for example, we didn't hear anything about who approved of the vouchers that wade submitted and his time sheets and all of the things that you would ask if you're really trying to discuss the financial relationship and this just devolved into a salacious private, deeply personal attacks on fani willis that just really seemed irrelevant.

to such an extent it was i thought i thought that was a real sideshow and not a lot came out that would actually disqualify where they could have asked a lot of those questions, right? to establish that relationship. but but that none of that any attempt to do that, in fact, correct. seem to be any attempt and laura fani willis also brought up race multiple times during her testimony today. let me just play some of that >> when you meet my father, he is until you as a woman you should always have, which i don't have. so let's don't tell him that should have at least six months in cash at your house at all, tom? i don't know why these old black man it feels like that. >> but he does the weight >> had a form of cancer. it makes your allegations somewhat ridiculous >> i do appreciate the character emasculating black man, but i'm, i'm just telling you i'm sorry. what i'm not going to emasculate >> a black man. did you understand that

>> laura what did you make of that? and how do you think that play with judge mcafee >> well, clearly >> she was intimating something about their sexual interactions lack thereof, as a result of some physiological condition. but i think it was clear here as they were trying to establish how to define a relationship. it's one of the clinton what is, is right, what is relationship wasn't romantic in nature was it personal in nature? was it sexual in nature? there are many times during the course of the conversation where they seem to be skirting around the issue of what it meant to stay the night what it meant to be involved romantically, and she was quite direct at different times her testimony. but just think at the weight of this moment >> erin, can you imagine? when jack smith testifying on the stand while he has an active trial and indictment against a former president, let alone over a dozen other defendants for an election subversion case, having to testify on the

stand about his sexual relationships, and then seek a jury who is going to be be able to be in paneled. and ms matter, it's a really stunning development package took the stand, was loving, shocking, and because it seemed as though the judge appeared to be leaning against even forcing her to do so because he was saying, given the testimony you've already had today, please tell me what fani willis can provide as distinct from the testimony, what were the conflicts at issue here at the end of the day? keep in mind erin, the standard by which you move to disqualify somebody on a conflict of interests. is that bear behavior? you're there conflict their relationship is such an extensive thing that it would render it impossible to actually give a defendant a fair trial they didn't. ms anguish, the through line today about where the money was coming from and that has a singular source or that you financially benefited. and that's standard, right? as i said, lord didn't even seem that they tried, but it sounds like from what you're saying when you bring up the can you imagine this happening to jack

smith? i mean, just to be very blunt about this, do you think they were doing this because they felt that she was a target that they could could could hit in this way and disqualified because she's a black woman i think it had its elements of massage anwar, as we say to think about that very intersection, i think they assumed that she is a target. they want want her to be targeted in this way. she spoke about her safety concerns, certainly, they're wanting to shame her as she has said, intimating that she had sexual relations with a man. the very first time she met her, there was a very offensive statement to her. she says they were trying to do that. i think that at the end of the day, as you keep saying, the goal of this hearing he does not appear to be simply defined that through line, but it's trying to discredit them. and i think if you are a prosecutor in front of a jury eventually, do you want the journey? first, we're looking for you to your counsel wondering about your sex life. no. you want the facts and the allegations and the evidence to stand for themselves?

>> that's right. it would appear ryan mean that's it's what they're trying to accomplish. if not, to actually prove any kind of malfeasance or anything that would have her disqualified. but to humiliate and shame and impact the case. i mean, they did. >> you'd have to prove as large as a through line. you'd have to prove that she was dating in before she hired him just for this purpose so she could pay him off and they could get them all that. no attempt to prove that the only time they this even happened was a former employee testified willis and wade were involved much farther back than they have both testified to being under oath or any evidence exists of them being involved. and let me just replace some of what she said the situation happened wasn't my fault. >> and >> i was going to resign or be like so you understood that that was the situation you could resign or you could be let go yes. you were not welcome to stay? >> no >> so that's that she admitted to leaving the da's office on bad term. she admitted to that

and then she's the one making these allegations this is the only witnesses as even offering to try to say that this started earlier. >> is this legitimate? >> it's not a very strong basis. and in fact, funny wellness at one point even says one witness does not make for a disqualification and the witness is not that good. so she didn't have very many specifics. i wouldn't say many shouldn't have specifics. yes, she had none. yeah. like when did when did you hear about this? don't remember. when did it start exactly. don't remember where were you when you heard about it? don't remember what exactly did you see? yeah. and even at that end point when they get to the idea that she was in fact told she would be fired if she didn't quit, she had to kinda be forced into the because at first she was just like i don't want to explain it. i don't want to say that i wasn't necessarily told them. they said, well, at the end, i was told it, well, that's the problem. and so you would have even thought that the other side would have introduced that evidence first because they know it's there, but they didn't. so i think she's going to be discredited in all likelihood tomorrow. she's not already it's not as strong case

for them that's all they've got. do >> you think it was smart that fani willis? >> took the >> stand, chose to do it when she first got on the stand. i wasn't so sure it was smart, but i actually thought that she was so raw in a way that it came across as very truthful, very credible. and it was powerful. and in some ways, i think what was happening is as you described it, the optics were that she was on the stand and then she flipped that back and said, i am not right. case the case. all right. all stay with me because our coverage continues here one person we are learning watching fani willis in her hearing very closely is the manhattan district attorney already our paula reid, working horse, her sources and she has some new details coming into out front and the date is now set in trump's hush money trial that is now set to begin in just weeks. a verdict expected possibly this spring, and a crucial witness in the case, michael cohen is going to be here with me tonight. also new details emerging about who police have in custody to the deadly mass shooting at the kansas city chiefs super bowl celebration. as there is a visual this hour honoring the victims

district attorney alvin bragg, who right now has the first criminal trial for trump on the counter. calendar. our chief legal correspondent, paula reid, is outside the courthouse here in new york, where a judge just ruled that bragg's case will move forward. obviously, paula, on march 25th. so what should brag be watching for? >> well, erin, of course, we're all watching today what was going on in georgia, but for bragg, it could be especially significant because in just a few weeks in the courthouse right behind me he and lawyers for former president trump will be selecting a jury for that first criminal case against the former president. today they were in court sparring with the judge about what they should be asking potential jurors, political affiliation, what news? because they watch any far right groups, they may be associated with. and trump made it clear in court today that his defense is going to be that he has been targeted by politically motivated, corrupt prosecutors. now, one of the problems for bragg is that the georgia case is the most similar to his. these are both state-level prosecutions

brought by elected district attorneys, and they focus on allegations of election interference. so depending on what happens down in georgia, even if willis isn't disqualified, i mean, it's a messy situation. it is a spectacle. this could be something that he has to ask potential jurors about. have you seen this? what do you know about it? what do you think of it? doesn't mean that he can't win his case, but this could be a factor in that difficult task. of jury selection. and erin, it's just a reminder that what happens down in georgia has a ripple effect on these other cases. not only actually in the courtroom, but also in the court court of public opinion, which is of course where candidate trump is most worried. >> absolutely. and the forearm that matters so much and all of these cases to for these juries, paula, thank you very much, paul, of course, in new york where that hearing was today. and of course, everyone's back with me now. so daryl, as we've said, you who know the judge here, you know, scott mcafee in the georgia

case and now you've see what we've seen today. obviously, fani willis, we'll be back on the stand tomorrow, but do you think that that he's going to disqualify her from everything we heard today. >> if i were in vegas, i would take odds of about 1,000 to one that he will not disqualify her. and unlike vegas, what stays in georgia, what happens in georgia doesn't stay in georgia. i don't see her being disqualified. what i do see is what happens to morrow, what happened today is going to be a microcosm of what's going to happen in the future. fani's office. nathan wade, if he stays, is going to be under a microscope. and this is not going to be the first and the last. it's going to be the first of many things that are unforeseen. and it's going to take on a life of its own. i don't know how we're going to make this go away. it's disappointing. i don't like any part of this a trials at facts are facts and fani didn't make

some of the right decisions. but what she said and how she testified was terrific today regardless of what i may think, either way. >> so karen, the thing here though is that if she's disqualified, obviously that sets this back massively and that is that that is huge decision. >> but even if she >> isn't, this is now out there in the ether. in the ether of public opinion, in the ether of a potential jury, how significant is that? because maybe that was the very close second goal of the trump team and pursuing this to begin with, right? i mean, what we had today was a televised hearing. right? so the whole world could see this and could watch it and watch all these details, which doesn't typically happen, right? you're not going to see the same thing in the manhattan da case or federal cases, but it's unique to georgia where they televise everything so you're right, that potential jurors could have watched it and formed an opinion about the prosecution

or about whether or not they believe trump is being targeted, et and so it's just another point that i think the prosecutors in the manhattan da case, we'll keep in mind when they're doing their for deer and asking questions to make sure that they are still fair and impartial to both sides. >> so it's so hard when as paul is going through all the questions law that they're going to be asking such personal questions of potential jurors. now i know that the judge in georgia law does ever notation at times were ruling from the bench as and making a very quick decision that is not anticipated in this case. they say perhaps as early as next week to actually get a decision on fani willis. but when you watch the judge today, he did not hold back at time, so admonishing both sides here he is he never came there. okay. so if you don't come someplace, you can live there. well as that's going to have to caution >> you going to be my first time out to caution listen to the questions as and if this happens again and again, i'm going to have no choice but to strike your testimony. mr. gould, you can sit down now.

>> i believe she answered that question, she answered as to specific individual gifts >> and you're not listening to my answer either. so we're done very well >> very calm and how he handles it, laura, but what do you think when you hear those admonishments, do you think fani willis will be disqualified or not? i don't think they've met their burden of proof that it's her based on a conflict of interest that would go to whether the defendants could have a fair trial. but i do think what you saw was a judge who is increasingly impatient because you heard people being very redundant. remember, there wasn't just the one attorney bringing the case. he was different defendants who then wind to have their bite at the apple through their own defense council, trying to make sure that they had a chance to make their case, as well as they had a lot of overlap that just tired of that, there's one moment in time when they were trying to establish prior inconsistent statements that

nathan wade had made, and the judge essentially said, look i get it. this now goes to the weight of the evidence, the volume no longer about whether this in fact was inconsistent. so he seemed to have gotten it a great deal but in terms the riskier and the weight of all this erin, it is not an easy decision if they disqualify her, it's the whole team a different a different and substance so quint prosecution team would have to be established who has no need or requirement to follow the indictment or anything else, >> right. and that at basswood set it back dramatically. >> ryan >> you briefly mentioned, but i wanted to give you a chance to blaine. i know at first you weren't sure if fani willis going on the stand was the right thing and then you were saying noticed, of course the incredible emotion that she showed raw emotion. and we're sort of like, all right, if you're gonna be talking about my sex life, i'm going to get really personal. i'm going to just open it all up and talk to you. do you think that that worked? >> i think it really did. i think she came across as totally human and the wrongness

of it was genuine. so i thought you seem just credible. and when she was making statements about her life and explaining it it came across various other i mean, everything about her father, why she uses cash when she moved into a particular apartment and the fact that nobody visited her because was a lonely year, >> which actually just takes out some of the allegations against her. i think he came across very strong at the end of the day because she came on there as herself all right. >> thank you all very much. and i want everyone to know laura will be back tonight with laura coates, live at 11 and outfront next, trump's historic first criminal trial date is set. it is just weeks away. the hush money trial is set to begin next. >> key >> witness, michael cohen will join me. does he have any doubt the trump will be convicted in this case? plus police tonight revealing the deadly mass shooting at the kansas city chiefs super bowl celebration appears to have been a dispute between several people it's two things a young man would be

now the host of two podcasts. may a culpa and political beatdown. all right, michael, the trial right now no delays, no throwing it out. judge has said it's going ahead on march 25th, year, a key witness. so are you ready to once again be in the same room with trump and to testify? >> i had no problem the last time at the new york attorney general's case of being in the same room as donald i'm not the only one who has said this i felt nothing. there's no intimidation by him. he's the one that sitting at the defendant's desk, not me. i'm just merely a witness and a subpoenaed witness so i will be there because i'm under subpoena but not because you want to or you're eager to just go in, you're going because you have nobody wants to do this. this isn't fun. likud. well, for example, with fani willis today, they get personal, they get nasty and i expect mine to be as nasty if not nastier than

the questions that were thrown at fani willis today? >> so when trump walked into the hearing today, i just played them, but i'll quote him again. we want delays, obviously, i'm running for election >> okay. everyone knows that's what they're trying to fiscal years now. so do you have any doubt that he will be convicted in this case in the hush money case and stormy daniels. >> so knowing the cases, i do this is a very simple case and i agree with judge michelle. this is not even a six-week case. i would say at best it would be a four-week case my understanding is that on the trump side, they only have one witness and maybe there's ten on the prosecution side. this case could and should be over in a month with a decision >> and do have any question about whether he'll be convicted? oh, >> i believe that based upon the information that i know and based upon not just the documentary evidence, but the corroborating testimony from so

many people. i believe that he will be found guilty on all charges. >> all right, so the nuts and bolts here, this is obviously the first case to go as we know, first base case to move forward. if trump is convicted, it could be hugely significant. the monmouth poll that came out today showed a trump wins the republican nomination, but is convicted of a crime before the, party convention this summer, which would be the case in this case if he's convicted, right. because he'd already have enough delegates to be nominated. but the convention wouldn't happen. 58% of registered voters say he should be removed from the ballot only 38% change should be on the ballot but this case, michael, is a challenging one less, many experts say, look this, what could be the hardest one because in part of district attorney alvin bragg himself and thanks. he said when he was running for his job, he infamously said this i'd be hard to argue the fact that that's that'd be the most important, most high-profile case. and i've seen him up front and seeing the lawlessness that he can do. >> you believe it should happen?

>> i believe we have to hold them accountable >> the he is trump. >> yes. okay. does that have caused problems possible at this case, backfires. voters say, well, that guy was biased to begin with, and it taints the case why would that be a disqualifying factor >> the >> jury of donalds peers will make the determination not alvin bragg. it's merely his office that brought the case. they brought the case based upon legitimate illegal actions, illegal behavior done by donald. so it's going to be a trial no different than if it was. you, me or anybody. and as a result, the decision will be in the hands of the jurors, not in the hands of alvin bragg. i don't think it makes a difference at all. >> do you do you think it's possible though? i mean, 91 indictments every single time it appears trump's poll numbers go up. that even though people say if he's convicted,

that they wouldn't be okay with that, that that he may be able to sway the court of public opinion this case claim bias and lo and behold, they say they wouldn't vote for him, but they would. >> so you know, me, i don't believe in the polls. i've had my helmet skepticism, right? i have very healthy skepticism when it comes to these polls. and proof-positive is just look at all of the special elections, look at what we just went through and district three, look at what took place in sylvania these are democrats that are winning. i do believe that at the end of the day americans, whether republican, democrat or independent care more about democracy? over autocracy they want less chaos and they want more from our politicians acting on behalf of all america, not on behalf of just one guy. and i think that that's where the polls showed and why democrats won. yet again and it was obviously was a significant way. now, depends

attorneys for trump brought up your testimony today in the last civil fraud case, according to a court transcript, trump's attorney said, how can we possibly go to trial when there's a witness referring to you who committed perjury two months ago across the street, this office should be investigating him now we do understand that the district attorney's office is investigating allen weisselberg, former cfo of trump org. obviously, you know him well off or perjury in the same trial, have you had any discussions with anyone in the da's office about perjury, know no. and just because donald says something doesn't mean that it's factual, there's no perjury the statements that they made. the second that they went running out in order to oh, we want our case, we want our case. no, you didn't. and even the judge acknowledged that what they were saying is inaccurate. they took one. sentence out of like a 55 page document. right. and instead of instead of providing the additional information on that one sentence, they only wanted to use that one sentence

to prove their case. a, a piece of saying doesn't make a beach and that's what trump's attorneys are trying to do here. >> all right. michael cohen. thank you very much. it's always good to see you. >> and of >> course, we know you'll be testifying again soon next kansas city police have two people in custody, but who actually fired the shots during the mass shooting at the chiefs super bowl celebration. i'm going to speak to a man who was shot along with his wife and child all shot what he saw just before the gunman opened fire. plus an update to cnn's investigation into a fertility dr. who allegedly duped multiple women by impregnating them with his sperm, which led to one woman's daughter actually sleeping with her half-brother will lawmakers help >> sorry. cupid. everyone's
