even if he answers questions about his relationship with fani willis is that credible and should theyable to have a separate deposition to talk to willis about the same types of topics? i think ultimately the judge is going to order that and they will be able to dig pretty deep into not what the expenses were for but the degree of their relationship. she refuses to answer questions whether there was an affair. instead calling these allegations racist. something that i think is totally inappropriate. these are absolutely very justifiable questions both for a divorce case as well as questions of prosecutorial misconduct. >> dana: nathan wade sitting for a deposition in a divorce case happens today. january 31st will be the hearing. we'll pay attention and be in touch with you. thank you so much. nice to have you. >> bill: laid off pipeline worker writing an op-ed torching president biden over the xl pipeline shutdown and he said the green policies are red flags for americans. how will the write in campaign go. an opening has been created for dean phillips, a congressman out of minnesota
