Welcome to prime time weekend. I am nicolle wallace. Lets get right to top stories. In a Perfect World we would not actually start the show where we are going to start it today, opening our broadcast with the results of what amounts to a legal circus, a spectacle and diversion. The ruling from Fulton County Superior Court judge scott macv was actually a victory for rule of law in the matter of the d. A. S relationship with special prosecutor nathan wade the judges ultimatum amounted to this. Either leave wade behind her help the prosecution of this case altogether. Turned out to be an easy choice for d. A. Willis to make. Remember what she said when she announced the indictment. The states role in this process is essential to the functioning of our democracy. Georgia, like every state, has laws that allow those who believe that results of an election are wrong, whether because of intentional wrongdoing or unintentional error, to challenge those results in our state courts. The indictme

Donald trump hitting back while democrats take their law fair to unprecedented levels. They could now start seizing his iconic properties. The former president has just six days to fork over nearly half A Billion Dollars in his civil fraud judgment, or new York Attorney general Letitia James could throw a padlock on trump tower. Trumps lawyers say making the 454 million bond is practically impossible under the current circumstances, Letitia James has been fantasizing about this moment for a long time.

We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to new yorkers, and yes, i look at 40 Wall Street each and every day. Jesse donald trump unleashing on the democratic law fair

One of the most important criminal cases on donald trump has been on life support for weeks now, but it appears the case will live. And the former president will likely have to face trial. For the past two months, we have watched as the Georgia Election interference case against donald trump and 14 codefendants devolved into a high stakes side show. Several of the defendants in this case accused fani willis of having a relationship with the Special Prosecutor on her team. Nathan wade. A relationship that created a coofinterest. They argued that because of that relationship, willis needed to be thrown off the case, a move that would have effectively killed any chance of this case ever getting to trial.
