All eyes were on a Fulton County courtroom on Thursday, Feb. 16, as a judge is commenced a hearing to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed from the election interference indictment case.
Willis took the stand after Nathan Wade, whom she hired and admitted to having a personal relationship with, detailed his spending when the two were together on trips here and abroad.
Willie also testified under oath, openly sparring with defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant.
At one point, Willis said that she couldn’t wait to testify, “so I ran to the courtroom.”
Willis: ‘You Think I’m on Trial’
She also scolded Merchant on several occasions, telling her at one point, “You think I’m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020,” she said, gesturing toward the attorneys representing defendants in the criminal case. “I’m not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial.”
She later accused Merchant of being “intrusive.”
Political pundits are watching the case closely as Willis has had to defend her name more than once from allegations of impropriety after taking on presumptive Republican candidate for president.In 2021, shortly after assuming office as district attorney, Willis launched an investigation into former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants for potential election interference.
A year later, in 2022, Willis successfully petitioned for the impaneling of a special purpose grand jury to further investigate the matter. The grand jury’s proceedings commenced in May and concluded in December of the same year.
Thursday’s hearing has been extended into Friday and will determine whether Willis and her office can continue to prosecute the case. Co-defendant Michael Roman and his legal team have claimed in court filings that Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade had an inappropriate relationship before Wade was hired.
In response, Willis and Wade acknowledged a personal relationship but stated that there is no conflict of interest and it began after he was hired and did not lead to any financial advantages.
Willis stuck to her story that the hiring of Wade was done because he is a consummate professional and nothing else.
Earlier in the day, when Wade was on the stand,
Nathan Wade said his romantic relationship with Willis ended around June 2023 but that they remain friends. “We’re very good friends,” Wade said under questioning from a Trump attorney. “Probably closer than ever because of these attacks.”
That statement and timeline was contradicted by Robin Yeartie, a former friend and employee of Willis, who said that the DA and Wade began their romantic relationship in 2019.
Final Word
Willis has inferred that she has had to do her job amid intense pressure on her personal life.
Speaking to a church in January, Willis said that she is far from perfect.
““You cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners,” she said.“We need your prayers, We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that type of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’s will — stumbling all of the way!”
We’ll see how the hearing unfolds, but it’s no doubt that Republicans will celebrate if Willis is taken down and Democrats will breathe a sigh of relief if she is found to stay.
Last fall, she wrote a scathing letter to GOP Rep. Jim Jordan in response to his attacks.

Riding off his success from his Super Bowl performance, eight-time Grammy winner Usher is producing a series based on his music, according to news reports. The news comes just as the singer has announced a multi-city tour.
The drama series will be produced in partnership with UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, according to Variety.

- 5180 Town Center Blvd, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092

3500 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326 | (404) 231-1492

Regal Cinemas Atlantic Station 18 IMAX & RPX
On Google reviewer says this: “My husband and I had a great experience. We went and saw Captain Marvel in the Screen X theater and I have to say it definitely was a surprise. Seeing the movie on 3 of the four walls was exciting and different. I’ve been coming to this Regal Cinemas location for years and will definitely continue coming here….”
Landmark’s Midtown Art Cinema
On Google reviewer says this: “t’s a convenient location just a couple of blocks from Piedmont Park. The mall is a little dated and so is the theater, but they do you have everything that you want here. There are a lot of screens, the rooms aren’t large (that’s nice!), and service was fast. It doesn’t compare to the shiny and oversized theaters in the suburbs, but then again, here you’ll find the Oscar winning movies alongside really well-curated films.”
Starlight Drive-In Theatre and Flea Market
One reviewer says this: “Great for those who have kids. It’s is in a rough area but didn’t have any issues with anyone. Restrooms we’re clean, concessions were slow but reasonable prices. The movie screens are a little dated and could use some remodeling. Otherwise, a great experience.”
AMC Parkway Pointe 15
3101 Cobb Pkwy #201, Atlanta, GA 30339 | (770) 937-0730
One reviewer says this: “I really enjoyed my experience at this AMC theater. The location is perfect. It is located above Main Event which is a definite plus. There are plenty of appetizing restaurants in the surrounding area that you can choose from. Parking is free. The theater is clean, however, the lady’s restroom did need more attention. It was not filthy, but it did have a strong urine scent on the left wing of stalls. The theater was large and I liked having the option of choosing and reserving my seat ahead of time. Check in was fast and efficient. The recliner seats were comfortable and well spaced from the front and back. I will definitely return to this theater again.”
AMC Dine-In Buckhead 6
3340 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326 | (404) 467-9619
One reviewer says this: “Cool little spot. The bar served a good drink. The food wasn’t the best at all for the price. However, it’s a 3 in one stop. I would return and recommend to you go. I know for a party of two we both had 2 drinks, a plate of food, and a shared appetizer.”
Cinefest Film Theatre
66 Courtland St SE #262, Atlanta, GA 30303 | (404) 413-1798
One reviewer says this:One reviewer says this :”Cute theater! For guests its $5. You can also buy popcorn a drink and candy for 5 bucks. So that’s a steal. They just don’t take card though so make sure you bring cash.”

Usher performed all the hits at his Super Bowl performance, but if you know what I know, what really stood out was that his mic was on. Yes, he was really singing out there. But also many on social media have been reacting to the spontaneous hug – from behind – that he gave to fellow singer Alicia Keys.
Usher has always been a real singer, but he’s always said, “Don’t leave your girl around me.” Have you forgotten?
Check out these live performances where Usher “got a little fresh” with the participants, from Mary J. Blige, Summer Walker and more.
Usher And Jennifer Hudson
J-Hud had to look twice and more than that as Usher laid it on thick with the crooning and swooning.
Usher Swoons Kenya Moore
Also, who knew Usher was a RHOA fan? Seriously, Kenya Moore, a former Miss America, was swept off her feet with the “OMG” singer pulled up.
Usher Finds Out She’s H.E.R.
Usher knows that H.E.R. is a beast vocally and musically, which is why he tapped her for the Super Bowl, but he’s not above sliding through either.
Victoria Monet Meet Usher, Usher Meet Victoria Monet
The “On My Mama” singer gave props to Usher and he no doubt will be producing something soon with her.
Usher Turns Summer Walker Into Autumn
In other words, he made her “fall” for him. This was when we knew Usher was on a mission during his shows. And Summer was with all the action!
Final Word
Usher is one of the most iconic singers and performers still at it today, and there’s no denying that. He represents Atlanta like no other.

Yet new movie studio is taking shape in metro Atlanta, this time with Lionsgate, one of the major movie studios in the world. The 40-acre property will be anchored by Lionsgate, but other tenants will fill out the facility as well.
