The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

• On Thursday, a hearing was held to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump. While being questioned by Trump’s attorney Ashleigh Merchant, Willis was so adversarial that Judge Scott F. McAfee had to warn Willis that he would strike her testimony if she didn’t begin directly answering the questions presented to her. After a 5-minute court break, Willis was asked about her financial situation—she complained about having to spend $50,000 of her own money in an unsuccessful campaign to become a member of the Fulton County Superior Court.
• Richard Fausset of The New York Times writes: “Fani Willis’s testimony has a number of audiences: Judge McAfee, who will decide whether she should be disqualified from the Trump election case; the voters of Fulton County, who will decide whether to re-elect her to a second term later this year; the Fulton County residents who could serve on the Trump trial jury; and people around the country, who have to make up their mind about the legitimacy of her prosecution.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/15/us/fani-willis-trump-hearing/eb0398e0-1383-501c-85ec-13b34ee84fe4?smid=url-share
• Richard Faust of The New York Times writes: “Fani Willis says her physical relationship with Nathan Wade ended before former President Trump and his allies were indicted by her office in August 2023.” At another point, while being questioned by Donald Trump’s lawyer Steve Sadow, Willis said that although Wade paid for several trips the two took together but she always repaid him in cash—she was unable to provide proof of the reimbursement. Faust continues: “In response to more questions about their spending, Fani Willis, the district attorney, said that when they were dating, Nathan Wade ‘told me one time the only thing a woman can do for him is make him a sandwich. We would have brutal arguments about the fact that I am your equal.’ She added, ‘There was tension always in our relationship, which is why I would give him his money back. I don’t need anybody to foot my bills.’” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02/15/us/fani-willis-trump-hearing/8ed09cb1-2747-596f-8571-4024686b7aca?smid=url-share
• According to NBC Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander, Special Counsel Robert Hur never brought up the death of Beau Biden when he interviewed President Joe Biden as part of his investigation into the mishandling of classified documents. Alexander emphasized: “Hur never asked that question.” President Biden had publicly admonished Hur for asking about his son despite it having nothing to do with the investigation.
