facts don't bother fani. needs divine intervention. >> why are they so surprised that a diverse team, that i assembled, your child, can accomplish extraordinary. god, wasn't it them that attacked this lawyer of impeccable credentials? the black man i chose has been a judge more than 10 years. i'm just asking, god. is it that some will never see a black man as qualified no matter his achievement? >> laura: yet, as we saw with harvard's claudine gay these racial victim ploys are losing their currency. even the daily beast know that fani has caused a major headache. because, if she got hefty salary for romantic partner, that's a genuine conflict of interest that would require her dismissal. and even fanny's buds at cnn can't help her. >> everyone that we have spoken to, they agree that the optics in this are just horrible some high level democrats in this state calling fani willis to step down and recuse herself from this case. >> once again, this reminds us how corrupt the corporate media are. just a few years

so we'll see if it transfers over. >>> donald trump taking on fani willis as well. he is trying to get her it is qualified from the election interference case. we'll tell you how next. >>> and also a significant international event happening today, international court of justice about to hand down a ruling on the genocide case brought against israel by south africa. the word is wld is watching the. >>> donald trump joining the effort to try to get fani willis dism dismissed. willis says racism is a factor. but trump is arguing that she'ses one trying to stoke racial bias in all of this. zach cohen is joining us with this reporting. i'm completely fascinated by how this will go. she's been subpoenaed, will she comply. there will be a hearing. and now trump involved. >> yeah, trump formally joining the effort to get fani willis dismissed from the case. r writing in a new court filing that these allegations that she and nathan wade had an improper relationship should disqualify her. and trump's attorney made it clear the decision is up to the judge. he says although th

does she -- what happens to fani willis here?well, it is -- can she says she's going to answer in the court filings. i can't wait for this hearing. this will be one for popcorn, because it's going to be interesting. when they brought these allegations, they're going to have to produce evidence for it, and she's going to have to refute if it. looking at it from the case can, once you're getting this been fit from hiring somebody that you're dating or have an involvement with, and then it goes back even deeper. you mentioned just a seconding ago, it goes back to the fact that now they're claiming this was never approved by the fulton county government to start with, that she could actually hire outside the department. that's a whole different layer of this. elizabeth: a whole different level. and now this, again, to what you're saying, this is the about to go to an even higher level because nicholas wade's wife subpoenaed. the a. fani willis for their divorce proceedings for nicholas and jocelyn wade's divorce proceedings. she may

that's the bridge they have to prove in order to get fani willis disqualified. on february 15th there's going to be a hearing in front of the judge in this case overseeing it. he's going to get to decide whether fani willis gets a slap on the wrist, gets dismissed or the case gets thrown out. none of them think this gets thrown out the window. there's a chance fani willis gets reprimanded. she has until february 2nd to respond. i'm told we can expect something very, very aggressive and fiery. her natural tendency to do this. this is a distraction for her. she is trying to focus on the facts and the merits of this case. >> you would think the defendants would look for any opportunities to raise questions and they've seized on this opportunity. >> they absolutely have. >> not a surprise. >> no, not at all. trump is jumping on this. he's posting on truth social. his allies in congress. congressman jim jordan, the chairman of the house judiciary committee reupping requests related to the documents of the georgia case. fani willis responded on wade's behalf. she said

dana, will this allegation hurt fani willis? or chance, i call her fanny.hen this all came out she had people in georgia on the republican side say she's pretty credible person, be taking her seriously. if you come after donald trump and 18 other people, you better have a pretty air-tight case and keep your nose clean and she didn't. credibility angle is out window to her and adds insult to injury saying it is the race card. this case is not getting as much attentiona if there were not caucuses and weather. but if this were republican d.a. caught up, this would be on front page like the big protest against biden saturday night did not get attention. >> evacuate the nonvile personnel. up next, countdown to the iowa caucuses, i hear it is cold there. fox news voter analysis that you will not see anywhere else. i hear it all the time. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep

fani willis.ld she be disqualified from the election subversion case? charged former president donald trump with election interference continues to come under growing scrutiny and new calls for her to step down from the case. a third co-defendant in the 2020 georgia election subversion case against trump has filed a motion to disqualify fulton county d.a. fani willis. pro-trump lawyer who was indicted last year -- mike roman also filed a separate motion to get the prosecutors and the case dismissed. with me now to discuss this is anthony michael crise, he is a constitutional law professor. good to see you, professor. based on these allegations should fani willis be disqualified from the case? >> so far the evidence is pretty thin to qualify for disqualification. whether she has some pecuniary interest or monetary gain in the conviction. there's no evidence of that here. there is certainly a political problem and a question about ethics and misapproach yagsz of taxpayer fund, but that's not quite a

elizabeth: then you're talking january 6 committee and fani willis' team got documents from them. case and messier by the day and could fall apart. codefendant jeffrey clark saying this 2020 case is tainted. his team is demanding da fani willis office turn over any records that potentially reveal the prosecutor's working with the biden white house to prosecute tram and help biden reelection -- prosecute president trump and help bind's reelection and that's a bomb shell. >> absolutely and any about fani willis' motivation and the judge might be apt she turn over a significant amount of information that would not necessarily otherwise be discoverable but because the entire propriority of the prosecution is in question at this point, the defendants are going to be able to get into a significant amount more information than they'd typically would. elizabeth: break it down, there's been allegations as we talked about that. fani willis' team met at white house several times before the grand jury handed down the 2020 georgia indictments. da's office is responding that oh, this is just ab

that was so cathartic and then he hugs fani willis. mean, the prosecutor who's pursuing donald trump, the guy he's out -- >> she's a little perplexed by that, our source who saw it, says her reaction was whatever, dude. >> there's that. his office, here's what they say, senator graham never spoke to the authors, you guys, and what they're selling is pretty much total and complete bs, their words, not mine. at the end of the day, this is all just trash. >> i did speak to senator graham, by the way, and -- >> you did? >> yes, i did, and we had an eyewitness to the scene. >> before we go, the body double story. >> yeah. >> which is fascinating. can you explain that? >> yeah, so in the days leading up to the indictment, these terrible threats are intensifying for fani willis. she's getting them on her cell phone. guys calling, computerized, disguised voice threatening her with rape, with lynching, pronounces the names of her daughters and indicates that he knows where they live. a couple of days before the indictment, her security team see

how significant the revelation that nathan wade paid for fani willis' travel? >> i think it is an important piece. it is not the smoking gun. but it is something that i think will be part of all of the information that we start to learn about the nature of fani willis' relationship with nathan wade. but more importantly, whether the hiring of nathan wade and the role he's played in this investigation is something he would have played had he not been involved with fani willis. and there is no evidence to confirm the exact nature of their relationship and the vacuum of no information coming from fani willis' office i think has created a much larger problem in the state than would have been had we known immediately what exactly happened and when. >> it is a bad look. i get it. we still don't know the real details of the relationship. but it is a bad look if in fact they are having a relationship and she hired him and there are questions as to his qualifications for the role for which he has been ascribed. but as a lawyer, and thinking about continuing legal educat

fani willis is taking such a huge swing with this case. all the co-defendants, plus going after a former president. would you imagine she would have all of her ts crossed and her is dotted. this situation really suggests that perhaps maybe she doesn't. thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> you can catch michael's show tomorrow, 9:00 a.m. eastern time. don't miss it. >>> next, i'll speak to a sexual assault survivor who writes that donald trump's rash behavior inside of that courtroom in the e. jean carroll case is all too familiar. to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine like google, but it's pi and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browse like chrome, but it blocks cooi and creepy ads that follow youa from google and other companie. and there's no catch. it's fre. we make money from ads, but they don't follow you aroud join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today. >> this week donald trump ranted inside a courtroom daring th

should fani willis step aside?> that's a very good and interesting question and one that we'll find out, but there are so many things. fani used bad vision. she could not see the forest through the trees. sometimes affairs of the heart take over the affairs of the logic, and in this case i think fani didn't mean to do anything nefarious, but what she did was at best inappropriate. the optics are bad. my dad was an eye doctor and if he saw someone that had bad vision he did what he could to correct it. that's what fani needs to do now. she could be excused from this case. she could be reprimanded. the judge could say, hey, fani, don't do that. nathan weighed could be excused from the case. the fulton county's d.a. office could be excused. i don't see any that have happening. if i were fani i would say to the public, i'm sorry, i made a mistakes and the optics are bad, but we did nothing illegal, immoral or unethical. >> so to that point, darryl, do you think a jury, i mean, i guess that's the lens you have to put on

fani willis who filed allegations of an improper relationship. and later, alec baldwin and how he came to be charged with involuntary manslaughter after similar charges were dropped last year in a deadly shooting onset. we begin with breaking news. within the next hour or so, south carolina senator tim scott is expected to endorse the former president who has been working to establish himself after just one contest as the inevitable nominee. to that point, republican lawmakers are certainly helping and it shows how early and eagerly they've been falling in line compared to the first trump campaign. on february 28th, 2016, then alabama jeff sessions became the first republican senator to endorse then candidate trump. this was after trump victories in new hampshire, nevada, and south carolina. this time around, the endorsements have been coming earlier. in some cases, much earlier. ted cruz and marco rubio. senator rick scott gave his nod. that is slow compared to tommy t tuberville. we'll have more on what this says about the former president and

>> trump is joining this push to give fulton county district attorney fani willis dismissed from theand he's argues in the new court filing that allegations that she and top prosecutor nathan wade had an improper romantic relationship should disqualify her from trying trump and fellow co-defendants in georgia. experts say this is unlikely to get the case completely thrown out. trump adding in this filing today that fani willis tried to foment racial bias against trump and his co-defendants. listen to the statement he put the responsibility clearly on the judge. although this court may not have the authority to disbar d.a. willis and to disqualify her. the special prosecutor she hired and her office from any further involvement in this case. sources on both sides of this case do acknowledge that getting fani willis dismissed is an uphill battle and she's come under fire since the allegations first rose and this is coming as we are reporting exclusively today that defense attorneys are looking to subpoena fani willis, nathan wade and several others and they want her to take the stand a

why is fani willis' personal life having any type of reflection on this rico case. i think regular folks, some of it might depend on your personal leanings. if you aren't already a fan of the rico case, you aren't already a fan of the district attorney, then for you this is proof of politicization of the issue. this is proof maybe she isn't as sharp or as prepared and maybe this is all about personal vendetta, but if you are inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt, if you do think trump should be held accountable, maybe you're looking at it like why does again something that's personal, something that's messy in her personal life, why does it have any bearing on this case? so quite frankly, what's playing out kind of nationally is what's also playing out locally and again, fani willis has not directly answered the core question as to whether she does have an intimate personal relationship with her special prosecutor. so in the absence of kind of where that actually stands, a lot of this is just rumor and innuendo now. >> you're saying there's an irony i can't

you know -- fani willis. that the january 6th committee quietly and secretly held d.a. a fani willis gave her preferential, favorable treatmenting giving her information for her to 2020 case e against trump, but it blocked, that committee blocked the justice department getting that same information because democrats feared federal prosecutors might have disclosed this evidence to january 6th defendants. what's going on here? this doesn't sound like anything credible. >> well, this is a real problem because what it means is that the specific defendants in hero coe prosecution -- her rico prosecution in atlanta having their due process rights violated by this prosecutor not turning over to them potentially excull pa if story information. -- exculpatory information. prosecutors have to turn that over, and the fact that she has kept that secret, informs, has refused to provide any of the communications or documents she may have received -- as you know, the house committees have demanded this who are investigating

the whole fani willis story is growing crazier by the day.e saw from the report she was doing everything she could not to have to testify in the very complicated divorce case and she said she's too busy prosecuting president trump to talk about her relationship with mr. wade. i think she can only delay so long and we got a bit from the judge where the judge basically said look, i understand you have a important job but you have a responsibility to testify to what you know. so i don't think she's going to be able to dodge accountability forever. she's going to have tocosm clean and testify under oath what her relationship has been with mr. wade. elizabeth: that'll be wild. she's accused of hiring her boyfriend on the trump-appointed case and he then -- trump case and bought luxury vacation travel and went to aruba. he has no rico experience. watch the cnn top legal analyst on this. watch this. >> his primary area of practice is personal injury law. not in my view qualified to handle a major complicated racketeering case. is he working nine tim

let's get real here for a moment, if true, is this the best look for fani willis?h the prosecutor? of course not. anyoneanay that. but it doesn't change the reality of what donald trump did anwh others did in georgia after the 2020 election. as a member of tonight's panel points, of fani willis's personal life does not take away her ability to build a strong legal case against trump. robert mcquade is back with kurt bardella and stewart stevens. barbara, ulcer with. you from perspective, on the revelation of the more damning revelations with credit card statements that weight purchase from cell for he and fani willis to take trips -- >>> if these allegations are true, that she was engaged in a romantic relationship with, him that he paid, him and she herself benefited from these payments, she may very well have some serious ethical problems. and i am not going to defend her on those things. but that is a separate matter. from the or innocence of donald trump and his codefendants. those are very different things. she may have a conflict of interest as it relates to

new news against fulton county da fani willis.sident trump in georgia. fox news steve harrigan in marietta, georgia, with the latest. good to see you. reporter: elizabeth, a strange prosecution of a former president along with a divorce case and possibly a love try triangle as well. the relationship under scrutiny from the district attorney and the chief prosecutor that she hired. the divorce records of that prosecutor, nathan wade, being unsealed today and people are pouring through them trying to find more of what was given out last friday. that's when a attorney for the estranged wife released bank documents showing that the prosecutor bought plane tickets for himself and the da to travel to san francisco, to travel to miami, to take a cruise in the caribbean, to rent a hotel in napa valley, california. it's gotten to the point where a number of legal observers say it may be time for the da to step aside. >> if it hasn't gone off the rails already, it's about to. i don't see any good from her coming and staying in charge of the

here's what we know already about fani willis. you know, she's been getting criticized from the start of this investigation really from the right, from a lot of sources, and she is one that has already gained multiple guilty pleas, and so i think a lot of ways fani willis has quieted a lot of doubters with the nature in which she's conducted this case to date. that's the important thing, to date. you know, going -- i do not know, you know, the details that mr. roman alleges here, but i think that in all of these cases, in all four cases facing donald trump and in the campaign facing donald trump, it might not be fair but everybody involved in this needs to have their t's crossed and their i's dotted. the stakes here are way too high to have anything that could possibly, you know, muddy the waters and help donald trump and his compatriots get off the hook. and so, i think that that is why there is a lot of legitimate concern about these accusations from folks who have been supportive of fani willis. i think that is really the big q

fani willis to step down from the georgia trump 2020 says.on that. fox news' steve harrigan has more from atlanta. steve. >> reporter: elizabeth, court documents show that the prosecutor in this case, nathan wade, spent more than $6,000 on travel in two months in 2022. that's when he was prosecutor working for the district attorney fani willis. at least two of those trips wade purchased plane tickets for himself and willis to travel to san francisco and miami. new concerns being raised now over possible ties with the white house between the prosecutors and the white house counsel. some of the defense attorneys want more information about that. there'll be a hearing to look at that issue tomorrow. and this steady drip, drip, drip of scandal each day has really angered a lot of average citizens here in georgia, and that anger came out at a fulton county meeting earlier today. >> i'm disgusted at the information that is coming out of the district attorney's office as a taxpayer. i am done with most of your silence at the department a.'s apparent

will the unsealing of the divorce case affect the case with fani willis and nathan wade? >> depending on what is in the court filings, it potentially could bring more scrutiny toward them if it reveal more information leaning one way or the other about the allegations that have been made about a personal relationship between them. i think it also, what is in them, might encourage mr. wade to further his efforts to resofrl his divorce issues in a way that doesn't continue to drag the d.a. or any other individuals into his personal divorce matter. so i think it mate potentially incentivize him to find a way through where he can resolve it between him and his former spouse. >> i know you've said that fani willis should continue to prosecute the georgia election subversion case. but that the elite prosecutor nathan wade should voluntarily step down. why do you think willis should stay in her role but wade shouldn't? >> i've reviewed all the georgia cases on disqualification. and there is not a single one where a consensual relationship between two prosecutors has led to disqu

it's meant to insert a new set of legal proceedings while we try to figure out whether fani williss tois or that, have a subpoena, and it delays the prospect of this indictment ever going to trial. that's the name of the game here. and to be very clear, i don't know what's going on between d.a. willis and nathan wade if anything. and none of us do and there's been no proof offered here. but whatever is happening it actually doesn't affect the strength of the charges against donald trump and any of the codefendants that were named in that indictment, and no one can dispute that. >> yeah, just to that central allegation that fani willis isn't sure her parahour gets paid, this exorbitant amount of money to take her on vacations. she hasn't denied their relationship, he's had more billable hours, but i do wonder given the fact she may be romantically involve would the prosecutor in her case that the state is paying, is that -- i mean if you're judge scott mcafee here, is this open and shut-in her favor, or is there a potential avenue for more problems? >> so i mean the optics are terrible

the cards seem to bef falling for fani willis.k that this isng something that will affect the trump case. you see what is going on here ir essentially kickbacks.ging fani willis bringing someone unqualified for the job. wb he it seems as though he is giving her these elaborate trips, elaborate vacation spear that iu something services fraud anda ve something that needs very deep investigation. but more concerning now is these reports that we hear that fani willis and nathan wade were taking meetings at the white house. what is t really want to know t those meetings if improperming purpose and were they trying to set the timing up to interferefe with the 2024 election? s all of these questions need very serious answers to my cancers before any p trial against donald trump. >> trey: all right, let me ask you a hypothetical because that is what lawyers like to do with. one another. if willis and wade were booted off of this case for any of the reasons you cited my new prosecutor could go for it, ime think, you tell me if i'm wrong an

fani willis in these twors proceedings is also saying i don't want to be deposed. and also are these people working together, the election interference defendants that i've charged and nathan wade's soon to be ex-wife, raising that. all of that is going to play out in the divorce proceeding. we'll see where that goes with this deposition. and in the case itself there is a hearing on february 15th scheduled where the judge will look at possible impropriety, legal ethics, things like that. >> see what happens then. based on the concerns here, kim, do you think there's a case that would disqualify fani willis at some point and the lead prosecutor for that matter. >> i think it's more likely they might feel pressure to recuse from this prosecution. of course we're talking president donald trump as the key defendant here. but the notion that somehow the conflict of interest would upend or disturb the indictment, very unlikely, right? so it would be, listen, she would be conflicted. and if there's misconduct would she fire him if she had a personal relationship? or is th

romantic vacations with fani. press found out and now fani's lover is packing, which is probably why fani liked him in the first place, and "the new york post" snapped a photo of him holding a gun. now, trump prosecutors are armed and dangerous, and it's the first time the media didn't whine about open carry. what's going on here? should lawyers prosecuting the president be flashing handguns to reporters? with the message here? if ken starr was brandishing a glock on the way to court to prosecute clinton, are you kidding me? and when did wade buy a $100,000 audi? did you embezzle that from the slush fund? don't spend too much. fani needs the sexual kickbacks. those cruise prices just went up. bidenomics. the whole case is about to blow up like the one in new york. "shark tank's" kevin o'leary went on cnn and said the case is dla on appeal >> forget about trump. every single real estate developer everywhere on earth does this. they always talk about their asset being worth a lot, and the bank says no. that's just t

"fani willis, what are you thinking? exactly parks trisha murphy. murphy is a top opinion writer for "the atlanta journal constitution" asking that of district attorney fani willis who has yesterday to deny that she has a special relationship with a special prosecutor she hired, the stunning scandal revealed in legal briefs in georgia. donald trump was at the first hearing today since the allegations were revealed. >>> plus inside the iowa caucuses, exactly how does this very american, very bizarre process work and why does iowa opt for this versus the more popular and easy primary process where voters just line up and vote in the polls? >>> leading this hour, what could be a worsening global crisis for president biden, iranian-backed houthi militants warning of retaliation against the u.s. and its allies for strikes against houthis in yemen last night. the white house insists these were self-defense strikes intended to protect u.s. troops and global commerce after a string of houthi attacks in recent weeks on commercial ships in the red sea. the ho

now, fani willis has been subpoenaed for a deposition in those proceedings.ing d.a. willis -- to quash a subpoena, arguing that d.a. willis has no relevant information to offer in this divorce matter, and adding, the subpoena district attorney willis is being sought in an attempt to harass and damage or professional reputation. defendant -- that would be mr. wade's ex-wife, has conspired with interested parties in the criminal election interference case. that would be trump's codefendants, to use the civil discovery process to annoy, embarrass, and oppress district attorney willis. back with me here is melissa murray. melissa, it feels like the messiness of nathan wades divorce proceeding is a convenient tool for these trump codefendants, to kind of get their claws in and say, oh, these untoward behaviors are cause for dismissal. what do you make of the timing here? >> this is basically the real housewives atlanta version of the trump immunity argument. it's a distraction. it's meant to insert a new set of legal proceedings all try to figure out whether fani

fani willis, fulton county d.a. is calling hero manic corruption allegations, hang on, racist. live from details from at at. >> fani willis in her speech at church neither confirmed or denied she was involved in some sort of a romantic affair but she did say that nathan wade is one of three attorney friends that she hired to serve as special prosecutors in or case gain former president trump. -- against former president trump. peaspeaking at service in atlanta's big bethel ame church, saying that h qualifications of facing scrutiny because he is the only black prosecutor on the team. >> i paid them all the same hourly rate, they only attacked one. reporter: critics point out the other 24 two are not accused of having a romantic relationship with the d.a., she authorized over 650 thousand in legal fees to way who took her on -- wade who took her on cruises and other leisure trial. roman's attorney, issued this statement: this has nothing to do with the color of his skin, fulton co da office said it will response to defense motion filed gains fani willis and prosecuter wade last

fani willis, to travel to san francisco, miami, and a rube yeah.lis has said attempts to drag her into this case are an effort to get in the way of her prosecuting former president trump. now the lawyer for the estranged wife saying it has nothing to do with politics. it's all about money that she says wade and willis are trying to hide. >> i have questions. i want to know about how they've been spending the money and spending it on another woman. that's my claim. i want to ask questions about that. she is trying to hide and shield her position. >> there could be a lot more trouble ahead for wade and willis. next week wade has to testify in that divorce case. he is likely to be grilled about the interesimacy of willis. republicans are going to investigate an improper relationship between the two. bill, back to you. >> bill: you have a story, steve. don't know where it goes. >> dana: let's bring in formal federal prosecutor and criminal defense and civil trial lawyer. always love having you. we wish you were here in new hampshire so let us commence.

fani willis already is trying to fight the deposition in nathan wades divorce proceedings.been a couple weeks out since these allegations first, you know, have aired publicly and fani willis is not directly responded to this alleged affair, but she has previously said that she chose the most qualified man for the job in her special appointment of her top deputy, nathan -- rihanna? >> nick valencia, thank you for sharing that exclusive reporting with us. we appreciate it. boris? >> we have new details in the health ethics probe of republican congressman matt gaetz. cnn is learning that the committee investigates has reached out to a woman who skates allegedly had sexual relations with when she was just 17 years old. cnn's paula reid broke this story. she joins us now live with more. so paula, what more do we know about this investigation? >> well boris, this is the latest round of outrage from the health ethics committee. they reached out to several witnesses, including that woman who was still 17 when she allegedly had sex with a congressman. they also reached out to the ju

listen. >> the biggest problem with fannis willis' case is fani willis' case. it's incoherent, legally it does not hang together. this obviously is going to get a great deal of attention as it should, it's salacious and goes to the honesty of the people who brought this, the case is a mess. >> sandra: i mean -- >> brian: yes, and andy mccarthy and jonathan turley, cut through the salacious part of it, can't believe the poor decision-making and how obvious and the other part how does it affect the president, state charges and the timing. they are desperate, jack smith and company to get the president into court, in trial, and convicted because he's en route to getting the nomination before the election. looks like they are having problems on every single case hitting their marks. now this one. >> sandra: probably why we saw what we saw with the fox voter analysis, republicans on the ground, iowa, new hampshire, multiple charges against him, it does not seem to be weighing on the voters' minds when they head to the ballot box. brian, great to see you. and coming

there is a vacuum, no response from fani willis and her team, her allies. lot of unanswered questions. >> in that vacuum, marjorie taylor greene filing a criminal complaint against willis. what do you think? what is this all about? >> certainly we know that this congresswoman engages in political theater. since no one knows what the response is and since there's no substantiation at all, or no one giving any kind of evidence to support any allegation, then what is she talking about? when you have on the other side a guy she's supporting for president that's facing 91 felonies and several civil cases, that doesn't bother her at all. he should be president of the united states. so it would be laughable if it wasn't so silly. >> all right. back to the substance here. greg, part of what was addressed today reporting from politico about a meeting between the january 6th committ and fani willis' team. committee staff quietly met with agents working for fulton county district attorney fani willis in mid-april 2022 as she prepared to convene a special grand jury in

fani willis. she's facing allegations of an improper relationship with the spec prosecutor she hired. do we have any sense of what impact this could have on a very significant case from the district attorney? >> there's going to be a hearing here. there is at least one person that's a codefendant of donald trump who is asking both the district -- for the district attorney and the top prosecutor here, nathan wade, involved in this divorce proceeding, one of the parties there, to get tosses off this case. at the very least, it's a distraction and it's something that can cut into the credibility of these prosecutors who have this case in fulton county against donald trump and all of these others. there is going to be this proceeding or hearing on february 15th to talk about the attorney ethics here. is there some sort of issue? attorney ethics is a serious business, especially for judges in high profile cases like this. so they're going to talk about this, and then at the same time, there's this mess
