Nathan Wade, the attorney Fannie Willis is accused of having an affair with has been paid more than $650,000 in fees by Fulton County Here's a little bit of his resume Wade was a municipal judge who mostly dealt with traffic tickets and running a private practice Focusing on family law and contract disputes our Fox News Research Department found no evidence He has ever prosecuted a felony case yet Fannie Willis picked him for arguably the biggest case in her career a former district a former Justice Department prosecutor with this Bottom line is it looks like Fannie Willis according to this motion filed by mr. Roman's attorney has brought in a special prosecutor who has never tried a felony case and who got After she appointed him to this position for which he and his firm has now billed about a million dollars Clay Travis founder of outkick and today I'm adding an attorney. What is your take on what's happening in, Georgia? It's a massive story.
I think if anything this has been underplayed overall by the media I I think Harris this is a dead prosecution. I think Fannie Willis gonna have to step down I think Nathan Wade's gonna have to step down and if the state of Georgia really gets into this investigation Which governor Brian Kemp on down everybody should be involved in this. I think it's possible There's a criminal prosecution against Willis herself based on these allegations She tried to say that this was race-based Harris, but by saying oh, they're only focusing on one of the three Attorneys that I hired to participate in this investigation and my response to that will be well Did you sleep with the other two as well?
Because until the allegations that you were sleeping with a man that you funneled $650,000 in taxpayer money to a man who may well have been Unqualified to have the job in the first place and also allegations Harris that she was traveling with him on Extravagant vacations that were being paid for by the taxpayers of Georgia If you were going to try and put the former president of the United States behind bars in an outrageous and unprecedented series of charges under Georgia state law You need to be crystal clear yourself and have absolutely Nothing in your background that is going to impinge on these prosecutions I think these allegations by themselves where often in the law I can speak as an attorney Here Harris, it's not only impropriety It's the appearance of impropriety and the appearance that Fannie Willis broke up the marriage of a man She hired that she was sleeping with him and that she paid him $650,000 in taxpayer money that is more than enough to cause an issue here Wow I don't know why I've never called on you as an attorney before I'll forth with me doing it.
All right, let's move to this House Republicans plan a new round of subpoenas for Hunter Biden After he did a 180 Friday He finally agreed to sit down for a closed-door deposition after blowing one off last month And then that whole stunt last week showing up uninvited to to a house hearing which by the way Americans can do But he skipped out on the subpoena in a letter to Hunter's lawyer Republicans wrote although the committee subpoenas are lawful and remain legally enforceable. We are prepared to issue new subpoenas compelling.
Mr Joe Biden appearance at a deposition on a new date in the coming weeks Hunter with a couple of stunts when it comes to those subpoenas Again, he shocked the House panel by storming into his own contempt hearing that was going on in oversight All right, I come back to you for your legal thoughts on this.
We don't have a lot of time Yeah, the only thing I can think is that Hunter Biden was going to try to argue that he wasn't defying the subpoena He was just combatting the method in which the deposition was going to take place And that was going to be a really difficult putt to suck sink from a legal perspective And there was so much negative blowback from the White House and beyond that Hunter Biden finally decided You know what given the precedent that's been set already with Steve Bannon I need to show up or I'm gonna put the the White House in an even more difficult position the Department of Justice and Merrick Garland as well. And so basically he's folded and he's showing up now Clay Travis. Thank you.
