day you met with them, and i take exception to it. >> a judge is considering whether willis romantic relationship with prosecutor nathan wade created a conflict of interest. if the judge removes her from this case, it could delay or potentially derail the proceedings against trump and his coconspirators accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election results in georgia. >> you're confused. you think i'm on trial? >> willis lashed out at defense attorneys for their line of questioning. i think in one of your motions, you tried to implicate. >> i slept with him at that conference, which i find to be extremely offensive. >> trump's lawyers claim willis benefited from her relationship with wade, a man she hired allegedly using his earnings to pay for expensive trips. the couple took together willis testified that she paid wade back, but there's no paper trail because she says she paid him back in cash. you gave him cash before you ever went on the trip? >> mhm. okay. and so when you got cash to pay him back on these trips, would you go to the

atm. >> no lady. >> so the cash that you would pay him, you wouldn't get it out of the bank. >> i have money in my house. >> willis says she and wade ended their relationship in august last year, and she projected herself as a self-made woman who pays her own way. 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 giving him his money back. i don't need anybody to foot my bills overnight, trump reacted on social media, claiming fani never paid cash. >> she got free trips and other things from her lover. a giant scam witch hunt. meanwhile, another trump case is in the spotlight today. the former president could learn his fate in the civil fraud trial that threatens his real estate empire . the judge already found that trump used fraudulent financial statements to exaggerate his wealth. today the judge could ban trump from ever doing business in new york again and force him to pay a $370 million fine and there's news in a third

bowl victory rally. people lit candles for lisa lopez galvan, a radio dj and a mother of two. a friend said lopez galvan loved everybody. >> she was a good person. this was senseless, senseless and i hope that we can learn from this . but i hate that that god took such a beautiful person. >> new video shows people running for cover as shots ring out toward the end of the rally. police say the violence may have stemmed from a personal dispute. two dozen people were wounded, several children among them including 13 year old cash adams . >> i got hit and i pop, pop, pop. and then i just i knew i'd been hit, so i just ran. it stung, but i knew i needed to get to safety. >> still, he returned to school the next day. three children remain hospitalized, though last night, but they are expected to

may affect humans, and doctors say with its relatively small sample size, this study should not cause any panic. >> so we do need to take this with a big asterisk that it's not necessarily generalizable to a large population, and we don't yet know what the implications are for humans. >> so what's the takeaway? doctors say there's no need to drastically change your eating habits or to strictly buy organic, organic foods. >> by definition, don't contain pesticides. but i don't want people out there to think that organic necessarily always means healthier, and they have to do that, or they're doing a disservice to their family. you can still find nutritious foods that are not organic. it's just about knowing exactly what you're eating and making an individualized, empowered choice. >> the group that conducted the study is asking the government to mandate more testing. meanwhile, the food companies have insisted their products meet all regulatory requirements. rhiannon andrew, for andrea, thank you for that coming up, what we have learned about a massive explosion on a los angeles street also ahead,
