fani willis is not disqualified from prosecuting donald trump and his co-defendants. >> but the judge, he didn't just issue a ruling judge mcafee issued an ultimatum >> either. she goes >> or nathan wade goes nathan wade went. >> and if you'd thought robert hur's one line throwing some shade at president biden was savage while judge mcafee is order hardly had any sunlight when it came to willis and wade, although there were moments that he recognized that the burden had not been met to show that they in fact, had a conflict of interests that made a fair trial impossible. >> there's >> one particular quote, georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices. >> in repeatedly >> all the scrutiny of fani willis and nathan wade and their relationship who live

where when who paid for what how an all it went down. it all threatens to overshadow throat knee of what this case is actually about. let me remind you for a second. we've already been through the hearing and trial about the personal now, how about what is alleged in the indictment the alleged efforts by the then president of the united states and his co-defendants to overturn the 2020 election of one president joe biden you think i'm on trial? these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. well, finding willis says she's not on trial, by the way. she was not on trial criminally, but it didn't seem like she was non trial during those hearings. but she is prosecuting now in this trial. so why is that distinction so important? well, look, the court of public opinion is weighing her relationship with nathan way

and they're also wang this decision by the judge and now they're wearing her credibility in this extremely consequential case. that's the court of public opinion. meanwhile, a jury in the court of law will weigh the charges against donald trump and 14 co-defendants, four of them, by the way way of the original 18, they've already pleaded guilty. >> now the charges they include filing false documents, violation of the georgia rico act conspiracy, and influencing witnesses. so the question tonight, of course, is which case we'll weigh heavier in those scales of justice because if lady justice is blind, well, she certainly heard a whole lot. did she not? >> i wanted to talk for >> now to tiffany, right? i'm so glad that you are here because in this ruling today, judge scott mcafee called fani willis testimony. at one point, dramatic, and of course, unprofessional and i say the

words, of course only because i'm recalling what he said, not attributing that to truth, but when you saw all of this play out, tiffany i don't know about you, but my chats were going off watching the trial, watching the testimony, remembering all that was going on. >> how >> did you see this judges approach to evaluating this? >> i thought his comment about her performance during the hearing vein unprofessional. it's interesting in one sense. i can't say i disagreed with that. watching it in isolation, it may come across that way. but i think we should apply the same standards, two similar conduct we have seen other people when faced with charges that they think are unfair and they think it's warranted to defend themselves. they come in and they do so stridently so the question for me is, why are we applying a different standard? are looking at her with a different lens and i think part of it is she's a black woman who walked into court and said, i'm not bowing my head. i'm going to look at

you and your eye. you called for me. i'm here and i want to address what you are saying about me and i think it's ridiculous. >> i think some of it may appear unprofessional, but some of it was warranted because at the core, the legal claim there, mr. trump was making was ridiculous and this was really an attack on her character in some sense, there's the two lenses. one can look at it on the one hand, there's the lens of someone being attacked in the way she was. the other, of course, being that they were trying to file a motion to get the result they wanted, then there's the third aspect of it, right? the idea that you're talking about the death by 1,000 cuts for credibility. but it strikes me as particularly interesting that her statements on the stand became a kind of inkblot tests, right? you would hear someone describe how she reacted and the way in which some called it combative and a pejorative sense, other called a combative. and they were praising that very notion. >> when you look at the audience of people, she is an elected official. she's not unknown that people are fulton

county does that impact it for you at all? >> the judge pointed this out in his opinion today that the voters will have some say about it later this year. and i think that's absolutely correct for me what this speaks to is going to what you said about how this really isn't inkblot test, right? who you are determines how you saw this, right. and i did see people who saw it when ways that this is an unprofessional woman, how dare she speak this way? and then for me though, as a black woman having been called unprofessional or being combative when i'm just being assertive and defending myself that's what i saw in it. and so i want to separate the bad choices and i think we all can agree that there was some bad choices here as a lawyer, you should not engage in sexual relationships with people who are connected in your cases in any way? so she has to take the macapa on that. in the other sense, she was hard before a court forced to answer questions about her personal relationships when the core of the legal claim was really always ridiculous. she did not have a financial or pecuniary interest in the outcome of this

or in the way it was handled. and that's what mr. trump would have had to prove in order to win his legal claim and all of the other parts of it was a little bit at the utricle, was interesting as well, is as somebody who is an elected official you know, as you're talking about the different standards and the different double standards at seven instances. what would be expected of how she was supposed to respond versus how she did. i kept saying during the actual trial, had can you imagine? jack smith some taking the stand and added to answer questions about his sexual life, his personal life, his romantic relationship. might say, well, you're not doing it because maybe he was not engaged in any of those things, laura and therefore, that's why it's shot in her own foot. >> but >> the attack specifically against finding willis and the georgia case feels very personal in a different way. do you think so

>> absolutely. i cannot imagine jack smith, even if he had engaged in this conduct even if he had been accused of something that was inappropriate to be put on a stand, an ax questions about his personal entanglements and relationships down to the detail, how much money did you exchange when when the focus of the legal claim was did you have a financial stake in the outcome or the conduct of this legal proceeding? and the answer to that was always know, nobody believes they're fani willis brought this case because of a financial interest in it. nobody believes that she's conducting it in a way to make money off of it. and so if there is no basis to the legal claim i can't imagine a judge allowing that spectacle to have proceeded in the way that it did against ms willis. >> the judge did not buy that discussion that she suddenly was trying to maintain or sustain relationship because she wanted to benefit from it and click including the pace at which she started to have the trial to avoid severing, separating the different different defendants will which are prolonged. everything

really quick. i want you to answer because you've been a law clerk for the supreme court, justice sonia sotomayor we know supreme court justices are known for the dictum, the things they are supposed to address, and then the rest they're actually wanting to address. there was some dictum here in the sense that he got went beyond just the ruling in this case, he could have just said, you're not disqualified. and nathan wade has to go are you have to go he went into professionalism and beyond. was that inappropriate to you or appropriate? >> there was a lot of diktat here and there's always this debate about when dicta is appropriate and when it's not i thought some of it. the comments about her professionalism. i thought that maybe that was fair game. i think actually calling out the election was to me seemed a bit inappropriate. this is a legal opinion. it's not a place to explicitly in both politics and this way that part. i thought when a little bit too far, but there was certainly a lot of dicta that did not have any legal weight >> tiffany, right? always a pleasure to have you on. thank you so much. >> in his ruling

>> today, judge. scott mcafee said a lot of things read through eddie called fani willis is dramatic testimony on the stand, while the war we were talking about that he used unprofessional >> this would they kolas to me that you lied on monday and yet here we still are. that's one of your lives. >> you've been intrusive into people's personal lives. you're confused. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. no, no, no, no. this isn't true, judge. and good. >> luck. >> so what is the court of public opinion? think about all of this. well, let's ask the jurors and our virtual courtroom to weigh in on the judge's ruling finding willis stays on the case against donald trump, but is forced to lose special prosecutor nathan wade of the scrutiny over their romantic the relationship will do our jurors agree, and they think race or gender played a role. we've got four jurors here, everyday americans meeting tonight for the first time to share their opinions

with each other. and of course with you. now this is not a court of law our jurors are not rendering a verdict, but they will tell us what they think of today's ruling and give us some insight and a window into the court of public opinion. i'm glad that you're all here today. thank you so much. let me begin because the judge did say to fani willis that she could stay on the case are not disqualified qualify, but it came at a cost. the removal of nathan wade by a show of hands. >> which >> of you agreed with the decision for her not to be disqualified? >> all of you. so let's unpack that a little bit more here as to why well, when you think about the reasoning by this judge said so they said they did not meet the bar of proving that there was going to be a prejudice against the defendants. what was the most important aspect to you evaluating a juror for you're nodding your head well, when we look at this case, who's really on trial at the end of the day and if we're going to establish ethical standards,

ethical standards need to be applied not only to fani, a fani willis, but to everyone that has a position of political power whether that be formal or informal. >> interesting, you're nodding along. >> yeah, because we'll want to look at it and what's been happening. it wasn't really about because it also has been there was a what's the wearing of interests, conflict of interest when it was only putting her life on display. so never wants that they make the case that it was a conflict of interests. and like she told him, i'm not on trial. they don't forget about it. and then i hear some people say, well maybe if she would had just in the beginning said, yeah, we got cool, but i hand in the cookie jar. okay. okay. >> when i left it there probably because she's a black woman that they wouldn't left it there. and because trump, in the kind of people that he associate with, they wouldn't go leave it there because they are whole idea is to try to have the case dismissed >> so the us think that race and her gender played a role in

how people perceived her professionalism absolutely >> how i think even when she went to defend herself, i think they tried to paint the narrative of the angry black woman and she has a da of, i believe, the biggest county in georgia so how they painted her narrative, i think it was hard for her to give her truth under oath without it already being a shadow of her race on her. >> but interesting, so one of the things that the judge spoke about was that he perceived her as unprofessional on the sand when she was speaking to the attorney who is leading the disqualification, did you see her behavior, her demeanor as unprofessional or passionate? >> and i think it depends on who's calling unprofessional. >> we've >> seen many cases of things that don't necessarily meet rr. and again, it just indicates that there's a changing standard. but who is the one to truly define it? and there's subjectivity there. >> what do you think it felt more like passion to me. it

felt like frustration and that she was just trying to display how disheartened she was that this was going to be happening to her. and how much she wanted to show this is not this is not really what we're supposed to be talking about. this is not the issue at hand. >> yeah. there was a moment that she spoke at a church in georgia and there was a lot of conversations around what she said. she was talking to a congregation. they were prepared remarks. that was an issue that it seemed going to be excise, forethought lemon. listen, let me let you all hear what she had to say and then i'll ask you what you thought of that moment. listen >> one white brutal in a great boom in ohio, one black man another superstar, a green flame and a great boeing lord, they don't be mad when oh, my own is first thing they say

>> oh, she gone play the race card now. but no >> the race card very much played into the statements by at least one of the attorneys interpreting what she had to say about that moment. how did you perceive her statements? they're made before? if a trial they were public. how did you perceive that moment? >> one thing she would just express and how she feels and what was happening with her. >> i think trying to get ahead of it. >> yeah. >> i think she was trying to get ahead of it. i think she knew that it was coming. i'm the undertones were already there before this trial soon as soon as it was announced, which she was going to do the racial undertones were there the threats were there. so once this came up, i think she tried to get ahead of it because she knew what was coming and it's easy for them to say, oh, she's playing the race card when they've had colleagues that look like them and have done this for years. so they do not know her to experience. so why can't we give her the benefit of it? doubt for sharing from her perspective, the benefit of the doubt was not part of the calculus that

you heard, at least at this particular hearing. but what you did here, a lot of was about the nature of the relationship between herself and nathan wade, particularly as related to cash, the element of cash reimbursements going dutch, or just keeping cash on hand a lot was made at bat. i wonder how each of you saw that moment. >> der ultimately, she tried to demonstrate that she's making her own case, that it's not about it's about the financial conflict of interest, but there wasn't enough proof to demonstrate that there was a financial contract conflict of interests. >> how do you see it? no. i >> like what she said. number one, in back, people in the foul deed keep money, and your parents, when he went out with a gentleman, david, tell you keep money if something happened as you can get home on your own. and then i love how she said a man is not a plane. you know what i mean? so she was standing up for right? they for companionship and so i'm thinking if she's making all this money and he's making good money, why does she have

to use this money? well, i couldn't like she said, share the money >> let me get a show of hands from each of you because >> part of the conversation is that the jury pool that will eventually here this case, when it gets to that point in time, will be much more interests state and distracted by what you've seen through this trial and the evidence at hand by a show of error does not go down the line. actually, you can just say, will you as a juror in this case, be influenced by now knowing about this particular aspect of the trial, yes or no? i would not no. no. no. >> that's interesting. i think many people are wondering if that would in fact be the case. the fact that she's an elected official, does that have an impact on how you view her? >> i think for anyone that isn't leadership, there needs to be some sort of wisdom. so are there lessons to be learned? absolutely. but to the detriment of a career, absolutely not. >> and y's question for you all there were statements made about whether they were truthful on the stand or that they were not credible in some aspects before the judge. does the does the statements made by

the prosecutors in this case impact the way you would see how they present evidence in a trial? yes or no >> no. no. >> according to the media, is today, but according to media, yes. but according to the media, you don't know because at the end of the day, when we talk about the truthfulness, is interesting when we look at all the parties that are at play. and so is there one that's better than the other? >> i don't think? it would be? a fair comparison because for this, it was personal to her so i don't think it would be fair to compare wish she would do to continue to do in the courtroom because this was specific to her with her personal life. this went beyond her role in the courtroom so for me, as you're four things, for me, would be a no, but i can see the public opinion to being a little different. >> i also agree it's two separate cases. yeah. and that's what i'm saying. >> it's important that we separate the two as they are distinct and have two different important roles to play >> thank you so much to hear

your insight was really invaluable to me and i think very illuminating for so many people, especially thanks to our grand jury or a jury tonight, i called you grant because you want if you'd like to be a juror on the next court of public opinion gain touch with us by filling out the form you can access by scanning that qr code you see on your screen or email. laura coates, jury at cnn.com um, that despite all of the made for tv drama, there's still a case to be tried here. >> and it may end up being one of the >> most important cases. i'm all of all the criminal cases against donald trump. so what kind of repercussions will be >> felt from today's ruling? we're going to talk about that next. >> just your mother and i went different things, which is why we got sling tv so we can watch live ani on one app. >> it's saying is >> really keeping this family together. >> you have no idea. i had no idea.

>> waiting to hear what this ruling is as i'm sure you have as well. you know, fani willis professionally, very well. what do you think will happen now going forward? >> i think she'll be focused. i think that she will continue to be very intentional about this i've read as you might imagine, you know me well, i've read every single line, every word in this order and i think that it is the right decision. she should not have been disqualified. there's no basis in the defendants. did not carry their burden of proof. and it's absurd to think that she would be somehow orchestrating all of this for her own benefit none of that none of that is true. and so i think that she will be very >> intentional. i think she'll be very focused and continue with the job that she has been elected to do. >> judge hatchett, when you look at the decision versus the conversations are the statements that were made by

this judge that really impugn or credibility her professionalism did the judge need to go there? >> i don't think there's a judge needed to go all the way there. i don't we have to remember that there are some opinions he may dictate in this written order. the he issued today, but the bottom line is that she was not disqualified and there was no finding that she should be disqualified. i do think that the decision four way to resign was probably an appropriate one. because i think that we need to try to clear some of the clutter and some of the noise around this case. and i think that that should move aggressively now to be tried well, here's resignation. do you think cure the case because the judge seems to think that there was based on the appearance of conflict of interests and some of the statements that were made that it could potentially

harm the opportunity for if not a fair trial, at least how the public would proceed. this saying a jury pool does this now cure what actions taken may have hurt the case? >> i don't know that it will absolutely. sure. all the clutter and the discussion in the public opinion, what i do know are two things. one is this case was rarely well-crafted the indictment that came down the grand jury handed down, and the other thing i want to tell you, laura, very clearly is that fani willis is an excellent an excellent lawyer, an excellent district attorney. and that there are very few da's in this country and i don't think anyone will dispute this. there are very few district attorneys in this nation with a level of expertise in bringing rico charges in a complicated case like this. number one, the

other thing is i think that there are far fewer district attorneys who would have the tenacity and the patients and the stamina to bring this case. i think that that really speaks volumes of who she is and where we are. and i think that that is the bottom line of really what is happening with this case. >> and we shall see what the bottom line >> will be for the timing of the trial and the ultimate outcome judge glenda hatchett. thank you so much for your insight always happy to see you, laura. thank you for me too. >> just to head cnn's presentation of hbo's overtime with bill maher >> start day with nature made the number one pharmacist recommended vitamin supplement brand

vanish from naples, florida and both banish along the same road. and guess what, both vanished after getting in a patrol car driven by the same white deputy sheriff both are believed to be dead. 20 years later that deputy sheriff, a man by the name of steve caulkins, remains the last person to see either of those men alive, and he maintains his innocence. the cold case was little known until tyler perry and civil rights attorney ben crump teamed up to file a wrongful death suit against caulkins in 2018. but now on a >> he was transport and someone from one location to another. the timeline of when he said it

occurred versus the independent witnesses. all of that appeared that he was not being truthful about the encounter between terrence williams and himself those in consistencies surface during a month-long internal investigation. corporal caulkins took three polygraph test during the probe. one of those tests indicated deception mircea, there was a time when caulkins was interviewed. i want to play this for you in this meat >> scum, bags. >> my son was gone bad maybe his color is it own separate scum bag. maybe he was a dirty car joining me now seen in crime reporter thomas lake thomas, it's so good to see you

>> again, my friend, i mean, it was you're reporting that we followed up on in the first place. how did this case even cross your desk? >> yeah. back in 2019, i just finished up another investigation and i was looking down lists of unsolved missing persons cases in this country. and this one came up and it sort of haunted me ever since. i've been digging into it now, interviewed more than 70 people. read ten more than 10,000 pages of documents, look through just about every arrest and incident report this deputy ever looked at gone through some woods down there in florida looking for bones, myself, and done a lot of lying awake at night thinking about this case, it just there's something about it. laura that seems different from anything else i've ever looked into, and i don't know what it's the same thing happened to you it did. >> i mean, just your reporting and also meeting rossiya, who

is terrence is mother looking in the eyes of another mother, who just wants to know what happened, just wants to know what happened to her son. and as you got deeper in the weeds of this story, you notice all of these discrepancies included looting and especially a second disappearance. turns williams and of course, belief by santos three months apart, talk to us about that >> yeah. it's striking the similarities between these two disappearances the deputy gave similar stories. in both cases. he said, well, i just decided to cut this man a break and drop him off at the circle k. well, investigators went and they checked there was no proof that either man ever got to this circle k. both these men were men of color. they were driving without a license or insurance there was a colleague of caulkins who told me drivers uninsured or unlicensed

drivers, that was something that made deputy coggin's especially angry and so what was going on with them? he'd gone something like three years without making any arrests. so he was out there apparently not being very closely supervised. and he seemed to have this sense that the justice system wasn't working so where did that lead him it's disturbing to think about >> where did that lead him? what was he doing and what happened from the time that he pulled over these two men at the time that was unaccounted for we dive into all of those questions. this is a really important whole story. thomas lake, your report according phenomenal. be sure everyone to tune-in. it's an all new episode of the whole story with anderson cooper. one whole our 1 whole story in air sunday at 08:00 p.m. eastern and pacific
