Former Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade went on the record about his relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis that ultimately cost him his job on one of the biggest prosecutions in the country, insisting 'I did my job.' But his decision to open up in an interview with comedian Marlon Wayans—playing a simpleminded character named Quon—meant a series of awkward moments as he battled embarrassing questions. 'D.A. Willis is a respectable mother, a brilliant legal mind,' he said as he tried to keep things on the rails at the start of his interview for 'The Daily show'. 'We spent...

Atlanta is now rivaling Chicago in the crooked politicians and election-cheating game. What unfolded in the Peach State during the 2020 election was downright shameful. If we were a serious country, genuinely concerned about our Republic, it would have been rigorously investigated by bipartisan officials from top to bottom. Of course, that never happened. Instead, we were told to shut up, stop being “election deniers,” and cease spreading “conspiracy theories,” even though the election resembled a third-world circus. We hate to say “we told you so,” especially because it shows how far the US has fallen, but this latest data...

It has been 143 days since the Curling v. Raffensperger case rested and Judge Totenberg estimated “about 30 days” to make her ruling. Is she going to wait until it is too late to do anything with the voting machines? My guess is YES, she will delay her ruling until it is too late to do anything. Judge Totenberg is looking like she has been influenced or corrupted by pressure from the state. I bet she retires before making her ruling.

Several children have been arrested and charged for the death of a 15-year-old boy, who was found floating in a retention pond. Zahmere Greene, 15, of Columbus, Georgia, was found dead in a retention pond less than a mile from the Chattahooche River just before 2:30 pm on May 29. However, he actually drowned on May 23 and his death was not reported until six days after, according to authorities. Greene's death was ruled as a homicide by the medical examiner at the Muscogee County Coroner's Office, police spokesperson Brittany Santiago told USA TODAY Friday. After further investigation, police discovered...

Experts believe there are only a handful of states that could plausibly be won by either Democratic President Joe Biden or his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump. Six of them - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – appear to be on a knife edge and probably hold the key to who will take the White House. So both parties are campaigning intensively to win over undecided voters in these states.

COLUMBUS, Ga. — The executive director of a Georgia pride organization has been arrested on drug charges. The Columbus Police Department said it executed a search warrant on the home of Jeremy Hobbs on Wednesday.

Formatted Video Transcript (by ChatGPT): Hey guys, this is your girl Melanie, and I have breaking news in the YSL case. We know that Ashley Merchant, one of Trump's co-defendants' attorneys, had to go in and try to remedy the situation where this corrupt judge had that ex parte meeting. Brian Steele, the attorney for YSL, made his objections and was actually held in contempt of court and sentenced to jail—specifically, 20 days of jail time each week throughout the entire summer up until August.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Thursday in an appearance at a church that she has been 'attacked and over-sexualized' - blasting the media amid her election fraud case against former President Donald Trump going off the rails. Willis spoke to the congregation at Turner Chapel AME Church in Marietta, Georgia, with her ex-lover, former special prosecutor Nathan Wade, in the audience, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. That relationship has caused Trump's Georgia election interference case to be put on hold, a Georgia appeals court ruled last week, to allow for a challenge based on Willis' affair with Wade....

Earlier this week, The Gateway Pundit reported on an absurd ex parte meeting that took place during the RICO trial of rapper Young Thug. Judge Ural Granville held an ex parte meeting in his chambers that included the Fulton County prosecutors, their star witness Kenneth Copeland, and other staff from the State and the Court. Defense counsel was notably absent from this meeting. Brian Steel, the attorney for Jeffrey Williams (Young Thug), raised concern of that meeting that took place earlier that morning to the Court. However, Judge Glanville was more interested in how Steel found out about the meeting...

A now-arrested Arizona man was plotting a racially motivated mass shooting in Georgia to incite a race war ahead of the upcoming election, the federal authorities say. The Department of Justice says 58-year-old Mark Prieto was planning a mass shooting and wanted to recruit others with racist beliefs. Court records allege Prieto revealed his plan to FBI informants, which involved shooting up a rap concert in Atlanta, Georgia because he believed there would be more Black people there. Prieto wanted to carry out his plan sometime before the election. He's charged with firearms trafficking for use in a hate crime,...

According to the New York Post: Six Russian nationals suspected to have terror ties to ISIS have been arrested in a coordinated sting operation spanning Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Ashleigh Merchant—the attorney who led the effort to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his allies—is wading into another major RICO case prosecuted by Willis' office. Merchant made an unexpected appearance at the Fulton County Courthouse on Monday afternoon to defend another Atlanta-based attorney who, in a shocking twist, was arrested while in court.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — One person is dead after police said a gunman hijacked a bus from downtown Atlanta with 17 people on board while holding a gun to the bus driver’s head. The incident started at 45 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard around 4:30 p.m. Atlanta police said they responded to initial reports of a gunman on the bus that was holding hostages and that there had possibly been a discharge of a weapon.

A private jet that vanished in 1971 with five passengers onboard was miraculously found by an expert during a recent recovery mission. On January 27, 1971, a jet took off on a snowy and cold night from the Burlington International Airport to Providence, Rhode Island. The plane was carrying two crew members and three employees from Cousin's Properties, an Atlanta-based development company. The flight vanished and George Nikita, Donald Myers, Frank Wilder, Richard Kirby Windsor, and Robert Ransom Williams III were never found, despite multiple searches conducted over the last five decades.

Three high-profile primaries in U.S. House districts will be held tomorrow in South Carolina. In solidly Republican CD-3), seven candidates are vying to replace 7-term conservative Jeff Duncan, who is retiring rather than face a campaign that would feature nasty (and unproven) allegations from his vindictive soon-to-be ex-wife. In solidly Republican CD-4 Trump-supported incumbent William Timmons is facing conservative state legislator Adam Morgan, who is being boosted by outspoken conservative congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida. Timmons had no Democrat opposition in 2022 but he achieved only 52.7% in a four-way primary that year, and this one could be close too....

Former President Donald Trump on Monday asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to hear oral arguments in his bid to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the prosecution against him. The development is unusual in that appellate cases are typically decided by the court's review of written legal briefs. “We believe oral argument will assist the court by highlighting and clarifying the reasons why the case should be dismissed and Fulton County DA Willis should be disqualified for her misconduct,” Trump attorney Seve Sadow said, according to the Washington Examiner.

A former Atlanta city attorney who was sentenced to seven years in prison over a massive $15 million pandemic loan fraud donated to Trump prosecutor Fani Willis’s campaign after applying for the government handouts, records show. Shelitha Robertson, 62, used some of her ill-gotten windfall for lavish purchases — including a massive 10-carat diamond ring and a Rolls Royce, according to federal prosecutors. But, she also donated $1,000 to Willis’s Democratic primary election campaign around the time she got the massive payouts from the Paycheck Protection Program, Georgia campaign filings show. **SNIP** A judge ruled that the relationship did not...

The former assistant city attorney of Atlanta, who was also a life advice podcaster has been jailed for seven years after fraudulently obtaining approximately $15 million in COVID relief loans. Shelitha Robertson, 62, used the illegally gained funds to splash out on luxuries such as a 10 carat diamond ring, a Rolls Royce and a motorbike. The former police officer had obtained the money under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a federal stimulus program that was set up during the pandemic.

Legal experts say the scandal could prove disastrous for the case. Clark D. Cunningham, an expert in legal ethics and a law professor at Georgia State University told the New York Times that Willis "just stabbed the case right in the heart."
