Pence. Nathan wade is Stepping Down from prosecuting donald trump. Hes out. Does the d. A. , fani willis, still involved . Lets get the latest from atlanta. Jonathan serrie is there live. Jonathan . Hi, neil. The news came down mid afternoon, nathan wade tendering his resignation, Stepping Down from his role as Special Prosecutor in the Georgia Election interference case. In his letter to District Attorney fani willis, wadery writes, even though the District Attorney acquired an actual conflict of interest, im offering my resignation in the interest of democracy in dedication to the American Public and move this case forward as quickly as possible. The das office faced an unpleasant and difficult decision that if nathan wade stayed on, the judges ordered would have required da willis and her entire office to step aside from the case. With wades resignation, willis and the rest of the Prosecution Team can move forward. Theres a Real Advantage in splitting the baby in this case. Because he does avoid the necessity of driving the case over the cliffs. Taking out the entire office. Jonathan turley commenting on the judges ruling, which was handed down this morning. Merchants, the first attorney to file a motion for the case says that the judge clearly agreed with the defense that the actions of willis are a result of her poor judgment and that there is a risk to the future of this case if she doesnt quickly work to cure her conflict. In addition to the judge expressing concerns in his order about the personal relationship that willis and wade once had, he also expressed concerns about a speech the d. A. Gave at a Historic Church in Downtown Atlanta back in january commemorating mlk sunday, in which without naming anyone, seemed to suggest that the Defense Attorneys and their clients in this case were coming after her and wade only because of their race. Neil . Neil jonathan, do we expect a statement from fani willis herself . Yeah, its anyones guess with wade making this announcement of Stepping Down, thats really the crucial announcement of what action the das office is going to take. Whether she makes any Public Statement is anyones guess. In the past when theres been these high profile actions, the das office has said that we will respond appropriately in court. That Speech On Mlk Sunday was one of the rare exceptions where she spoke out hinting on the case while not naming names in public. Neil got it. Thanks, jonathan. Meantime, want to get some legal reaction to this. John yoo is here with us, tom dupree, both legal smarty pants. John, begin with you on your reaction to this. Still no formal statement from fani willis herself. What do you make of that . If you read the judges opinion, fani willis shouldnt talk at all. The last time she spoke about the case, she actually created possible grounds to have something changed either by having herself disqualified, having any kind of jury pool considered tainted because she accused the defendants of being racist. What if she says now theyre racist . Didnt succeed. That could make things worse. The bigger problem here is that even though this indictment wasnt dismissed, even though fani willis herself wasnt disqualified, this is a real body blow to the prosecution. Already three of the charges were dismissed earlier this week. This judge said theres he called it an odor of mendacity that still surrounds the prosecution. Youll have a state legislative investigation now. Youre going to have a new state body that can remove prosecutors looking into this. It seems to me that the best step forward for her is to step away from this case and let some other da and other office take it over. Neil do you see that happening, tom dupree . I dont see her stepping aside, neil. If anything, shes determined to dig her heels in even further and fight. Like john, i was surprised by the decision in that. The judge was extremely critical of every aspect of the way that fani willis has handled this case. He criticized her bringing wade aboard and keeping up a romantic relationship with him and he criticized her for her Public Statements. He said that he thought she and others in her office and her friends and colleagues were possibly untruthful when they testified under oath. He said there may be future Disciplinary Proceedings against fani willis. So it was pa narrow victory for the prosecutors and fani willis lives to prosecute another day, it was terrible. The judge has cast a huge question over the integrity of this entire case. Neil let me explore that with you. Judge mcafee put the defense in a position of putting him in this position saying the defendants failed to meet their burden in proving that the District Attorney, fani willis, when it came to anything having to do with relating to nathan wade was enough to merit her removal. So he said you made a more compelling case, i might have decided differently. I think thats right, neil. You cant say that fani willis and wade did nothing wrong here. What the judge said is, the defendants, donald trump and his codefense, didnt carry the burden, didnt prove there was a real conflict of interest. In fact, the judge says, im not here i dont have the time to identify all the places where they or other witnesses may not have been telling the truth or playing games, especially with when their relationship started or who owed how much money for what. Demanding the indictment being throw out entirely was an extreme remedy, he wasnt going that far that doesnt mean theres not more grounds to bring up in the trial. Notice, neil, we havent even gotten to a single real courtroom proceeding in this trial. This just opens up the door, i think, to a number of attacks that are going to be raised by donald trump and his codefendants to the integrity of the prosecution, the decisions that they have made throughout the trial. Neil so by her staying, tom, isnt she a Lightning Rod and a focus of the criticism from the Trump Legal Team in the first place and set the stage for On What Grounds there could be many you appeal the whole thing or say drop the whole thing . Right. Thats one of the peculiar aspects of what happened today, neil. The judge made abundantly clear how he thought that this entire case had basically been shrouded in an air of impropriety. Its still hard to get your head around how you can dispel that whole air of impropriety but removing nathan wade from the equation. He did wrong things, too, from the judges perspective. So did fani willis. Shes going to remain in the case. I think shes going to continue to be a Lightning Rod to johns point earlier. Wouldnt surprise me if she makes other Public Statements that draw the ire of the judge. Someone might pull her aside and say you might have the right to continue this prosecution, if you think its in the Public Interest for you to remain in that role. Neil i dont know where this case goes, gentleman. John, i wonder all the dust up in deciding her fate and what was going to happen to nathan wade has pushed this case and resuming it considerably. We know the documents case wont be dropped, but it is going to be pushed back the way things stand. So how do you characterize things right now, john . Well, this is still win for President Trump if his longterm goal is just to get all of the trials pushed beyond the november election. Because if you combine this outcome today with the earlier dismissal of several of the charges this week, fani willis has a big choice to make. Is she going to go back to a grand jury and get them reissued in a proper way . That will set the trial back another two or three months. If she doesnt do that, it reinforces this image in the publics mind now that this is a shoddy, sloppy prosecution surrounded by allegations of impropriety. Neil tom, what do you think . Its been a terrible 48 hours for fani willis. Shes had a bunch of charges thrown out on the grounds that they were deficient and now her lead prosecutor kicked off the case and shes been called out by a judge for Making Statements that may have been untrue and for making improper statements in public. I think that shes got to take a hard look at how this prosecution moves forward, if it most forward and whether it can credibly move forward in the eyes of the public with her at the helm. Neil thanks, gentlemen, both. You might have heard the impact on the Trump Campaign with all of this. All of this legal piling on as the former president described it has endeared him to many republicans saying this is es you heard the former vice president.

[music playing] neil it should come action no surprise that i will not be endorsing donald trump this year. During my president ial campaign, i made it clear there were fro found differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues. And not just our difference on my constitutional duties that i exercised on january 6. Neil all right. I saw that a few minutes against when Martha Maccallum asked mike pence where he was leaning for this president ial contest. I did not expect the answer that he gave her, that hes not endorsing his former boss. I wonder what ken langone thinks of that, the home depot cofounder that had issues with donald trump. Hes kind enough to join me now. Ken, what did you think of the former president said, not donald trump . Its his opinion. Thats where he stands and how he feels. I accept it as such. Neil is it your opinion . Do you share that opinion . You know, last week another network showed trump a clip of interviewing me back three or four months ago where i said my concern was that if trump won that it would be four years of getting even and retribution. Im happy to say that trumps reaction encourages me. He said retribution will come through our success. If he means that, thats the right answer. In other words, hes going to do things that have to be done that will benefit the American People and hes willing to measured by that. So if he meant what he said, im encouraged that he wont do what im worried he might do. I dont know how to respond, neil, to his behavior. I cant. I can only use words that would be pejoratives. I dont choose to do that. Look, america is where it is. I will say this to you. What do we have . 340 Million People in this great country . These are the best two we can come up with . Thats a question. The other thing, neil, ask yourself the question, the people that control the Republican Party have to ask themselves the question, how is trump able to hijack the party . Thats a big question. I felt for years that our Political Class really was not connected to the American People. I think what is happening now is a reflection of that. Neil it sounds like, ken i understand what youre saying all that not withstands, youre going to support donald trump, take him at his word that success will be his revenge and you hope to i didnt say that as of right now, my vote stands the way it is. My dearly beloved wife, elaine. Neil youll write her in. Im a resident of new york. My vote wont count. Im a republican. I i can guarantee you, i will not vote for joe biden. That i can guarantee you. Hes probably the worst president we ever had. This latest stunt by schumer is a disgrace. An absolute disgrace. What the hell are they thinking about . Neil youre talking about Chuck Schumer that is advising elections in israel. Israel is one of our strongest allies. Thank god israel is there. If they werent there, wed have to be there. The israelis are providing a valuable service to the American People by being there. Lets not forget the horrors, absolute horrors of october 7th. Do you realize what those people poor were subjected to . Anyway neil all right. I wanted to just be clear, ken. Super clear. Last time on, you said you were going to write in your wifes name because you didnt like the two choices. Sounds like youre still inclined to write her name in, but it sounds like could donald trump win you over as he has many of the party has rallied around him minus mike pence, john thune in the senate, Mitch Mcconnell and many others. Theyre all rallying around the nominee. How do you feel about that . Look, i certainly couldnt vote for biden. As i said, for a million different reasons. For a million different reasons. This guy should not be president of the United States. In my opinion. Unfortunately i should say fortunately trump did a lot of good things in his first term. The tragedy is if he could have control his mouth and if he could have been more gracious in dealing with people, might be a totally different situation. For example, the night he won big in new hampshire, here was an opportunity to say hey, i want you all to know something. If i win, im going to do everything i can to bring the country together. Im going to do everything i can for all of us to respect our differences but also respect each other as americans. Our motives are driven by what is best for america . What does he do . He gets out and mocks her dress. Theres a good example of him having a great opportunity to seize the moment and he does exactly the opposite. Hes nuts. Neil would you ever go for a thirdparty candidate . A robert f. Kennedy jr. Or any one of the names being bandyed about . Our best chance for a third party was ross perot. He would have been a great president. More importantly, he had a viral effort. Unfortunately it didnt happen. I do believe it influenced the outcome. I believe Robert Kennedy first of all, i dont understand what the guy stands for. I know hes got the environment and stuff like that. You can only flog the environment so long. You know, neil, heres where my head is right now. All of those people coming across the border in to the United States, ten Million People. Think of it. Virtually every one of them left a country where socialism prevailed. Not one exception. None of the democracies had people in the lines waiting to come in to america. Breaking the law to get in to america. Venezuela, cuba, haiti. Go right down the list. Socialism does not work. If you think it does, youre kidding yourself. It does not work. Its been proven not to work over many centuries. Neil many are coming through from mexico and columbia as well. Democracies last time i checked. That is a big issue to you. You mentioned that many times. Is it your sense that one party or the other is better at addressing it . I think this latest pitch by the senator from new hampshire, Bernie Sanders, about a 32hour work week, ill give you the math. A 32hour work week raises labor costs directly 20 . Why . Because the eight hours are not working you have to hire somebody else to come up with those eight hours. Youre not going squeeze 40 hours in to 32 hours. Its slave labor if you do that. The only way to work it is to go out and break in eight new hours of labor. Who always pays for it . The consumer. Who gets punished in inflationary periods like right now . The little guy. Food costs are about 15 in the last two years. Who is getting hit . The
