The entertainer left behind two children — a daughter named <a href="https://eurweb.com/tag/emani-asghedom/"><strong>Emani</strong> </a>who he had with his ex-girlfriend <a href="https://eurweb.com/tag/tanisha-foster/"><strong>Tanisha Foster</strong></a> and a son named <strong>Kross</strong> who Hussle had with his girlfriend <a href="https://eurweb.com/tag/lauren-london/"><strong>Lauren London</strong></a>. Emani and Kross are expected to be paid around $5 million each and will continue to receive payments for the remainder of their life.</p> <p>In October 2023, Blacc Sam submitted a final report explaining that he handled all outstanding debts and creditor’s claims, Radar noted, adding that Blacc Sam mentioned that he reviewed all of Hussle’s property and assets. The rapper’s property and assets were worth around $11million.</p> <p>A court hearing where Blacc Sam can present further documents to the judge is set for March.</p> <p>An objection to the final report being approved and payments being made was filed a couple of weeks later by <strong>Tasleema Yasin</strong>, a songwriter who claimed to work with Hussle.</p> <figure id="attachment_963347" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-963347" style="width: 655px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" onerror="this.src='https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Untitled.png'" class="size-full wp-image-963347" src="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Nipsey-Hussle-family-at-Walk-of-Fame-ceremony.jpg" alt="Nipsey Hussle family at Walk of Fame ceremony" width="655" height="468" srcset="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Nipsey-Hussle-family-at-Walk-of-Fame-ceremony.jpg 655w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Nipsey-Hussle-family-at-Walk-of-Fame-ceremony-300x214.jpg 300w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Nipsey-Hussle-family-at-Walk-of-Fame-ceremony-150x107.jpg 150w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Nipsey-Hussle-family-at-Walk-of-Fame-ceremony-600x429.jpg 600w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Nipsey-Hussle-family-at-Walk-of-Fame-ceremony-588x420.jpg 588w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Nipsey-Hussle-family-at-Walk-of-Fame-ceremony-100x70.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-963347" class="wp-caption-text">Nipsey Hussle’s family at Walk of Fame ceremony – Getty</figcaption></figure> <p>In 2019, Yasin originally filed a creditor’s claim against Hustle’s estate, under claims she collaborated with the rap star in 2016 on a song titled “Hussle & Motivation.” The tune was released months before Hustle’s death.</p> <p>In 2022, a deal in the dispute was reached between Yasin and Sam. Under claims Yasin made, Sam agreed to award her 10% share of the Master Sound Recording of “Hussle & Motivation.” Yasin added that she was to be paid $35,000 for her work.</p> <p>Fast forward to January and Yasin filed her objection to the final report. In the objection, the songwriter claimed that Sam had breached the deal they reached by failing to pay her the full amount. Yasin said she only received $16,000.</p> <p>“Regrettably, the opposing party has thus far delayed the fulfillment of their obligations under the contract, and consequently, they are in breach of its terms,” Yasin claimed. “The original agreement with the Estate is deemed void due to multiple breaches. Ms. Yasin no longer seeks enforcement of this breached agreement. Instead, she is seeking damages because of these breaches and wishes to negotiate a new agreement that will protect her interests moving forward.”</p> <p>Court documents captured claims from Yasin that she didn’t mean to cause Hustle’s family any trouble.</p> <p>“My intention is not to burden the court or cause any distress to the involved family,” she said. “MY sole aim is to pursue a fair and just resolution. I am wholeheartedly committed to fully engaging with the court’s procedures, attending all hearings, and providing any additional necessary information. Considering these facts, I earnestly request the court to consider my objection and expedite the proceedings for a swift resolution.”</p> <p>Despite Yasin’s claims, Blacc Sam requested her motion to be denied. According to Sam, the settlement she signed was with <strong>All Money In LLC</strong>. He argued that when Yasin signed that deal — she agreed to forever dismiss claims against Hussle’s estate. Sam further stated that Yasin said she needed to act against All Money In LLC if she believed money was owed.</p> <p>As a result, Blacc Sam pleaded with the court to deny Yasin’s request and approve his final report. The final report from Blacc Sam will allow Hussle’s children to receive their full inheritance, Radar reported.</p> <p><strong>MORE NEWS FROM EURWEB: <a href="https://eurweb.com/2023/nipsey-hussles-estate-awards-his-two-children-50-each-offset-and-quavo-pay-tribute-to-one-year-anniversary-of-takeoffs-death-more-picvideos/">Nipsey Hussle’s Estate Awards His Two Children 50% Each – Offset and Quavo Pay Tribute to One-Year Anniversary of Takeoff’s Death + More | PicVIDEOs</a></strong></p> <p>The post <a href="https://eurweb.com/2024/new-legal-case-delays-inheritance-payments-to-nipsey-hustles-children/">New Legal Case Delays Inheritance Payments to Nipsey Hustle’s Children</a> appeared first on <a href="https://eurweb.com">EURweb</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>‘Where is Wendy Williams?’ Lifetime’s Raw and Compelling Two-Night Documentary Event | WATCH</title> <link>https://eurweb.com/2024/where-is-wendy-williams-lifetime/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=where-is-wendy-williams-lifetime</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Fisher Jack]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 03 Feb 2024 23:33:44 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Celebrity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Press Release]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Television]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Today’s Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Top News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Urban Living]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Urban News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wendy williams]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Where is Wendy Williams?]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://eurweb.com/?p=1045020</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>*LOS ANGELES, CA – After Wendy Williams was placed under financial guardianship and her hit talk show was unexpectedly canceled, she was determined to make a career comeback.

Opening the doors to her private life like never before, cameras chronicled her comeback journey to reclaim her life and legacy despite facing health issues and personal turbulence.</p> <p>With unparalleled access granted by Wendy to film with her and her family for nearly two years, what was captured was not what anyone expected. The four-and-a-half-hour, two-night documentary event, <strong>“Where is Wendy Williams</strong>?” will debut on Saturday, February 24 and 25 at 8pm ET/PT on Lifetime. On the Friday night before February 23, Lifetime will encore Wendy’s biopic, “<strong>Wendy Williams: The Movie</strong>,” and her 2021 documentary, “<strong>Wendy Williams: What a Mess</strong>.”</p> <p>“Wendy has been part of the Lifetime family for over a decade and during that time, we partnered with Wendy for her revealing biopic and doc,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and Head of Programming, A&E, Lifetime and LMN.</p> <p>Bryant added: “But her story is not finished. There is so much more to it. Nobody truly knew the depths of Wendy’s reality so we hope that what our cameras captured can help shine a light on what she is facing now.”</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Where is Wendy Williams?

The documentary provides a raw, honest, and unfiltered reality of Wendy’s life after she was placed under financial guardianship, shedding light on the vulnerabilities that have turned Wendy into the Hot Topic herself. Suffering mental and physical issues, Wendy’s delicate state of mind, erratic behavior, and declining health were all captured by the cameras. Where is Wendy Williams? is the story of Wendy’s journey to resurrect her career, and what filmmakers discovered along the way. But many questions remain – who truly has Wendy’s best interest at heart? Is she healthy now? And Where is Wendy Williams?</p> <p>Throughout the airing of the program and on Lifetime’s social media platforms, Lifetime will drive messaging to <a href="http://mylifetime.com/WendyWilliams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mylifetime.com/WendyWilliams</a>, directing viewers to a range of resources including SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), NAMI for Mental Health Resources, and information and resources for Graves’s Disease and Lymphedema.</p> <p>Where is Wendy Williams? is produced by Entertainment One (eOne) and Creature Films for Lifetime.

Together, they became the first hip hop group to reach mainstream popular music success, solidified by the rap-rock crossover “Walk This Way” with Aerosmith in 1986, as well as appearances on “Saturday Night Live” and on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.</p> <p>“How I dressed in high school is the way we dressed,” <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/31/obit.jam.master.jay/">Jay told the trade magazine DJ Times in 2000</a>. “My vibe is our vibe.”</p> <p>Their song with Aerosmith was part of the triple-platinum selling album “Raising Hell,” which also included the hits “It’s Tricky,” “My Adidas” and “You Be Illin.’” The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for <a href="http://www.rockonthenet.com/grammy/randbgroup.htm">Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group</a>.</p> <p>Run-DMC released a total of six albums between 1984 and 1993, with “King of Rock” and “Tougher Than Leather” also reaching platinum status. They were eventually overtaken in popularity by more hardcore rap in the 90s, and their next album wasn’t released until 2001.</p> <p>Run-DMC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009 for their groundbreaking legacy.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Killing of Jam Master Jay: How the news broke" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x-72LISEfkI?enablejsapi=1" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>“Run-D.M.C. was a group of firsts. The first rappers featured prominently on MTV, to appear on Saturday Night Live, to grace the cover of Rolling Stone, and to win a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award,” the <a href="https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/run-dmc?gclid=CjwKCAjw1ej5BRBhEiwAfHyh1Oi-TuXk5whztN9lj-BG-3rqszIsGQ-rCFt1GE6S_DIWg4_5zMZnqhoCOPEQAvD_BwE">Hall of Fame said</a>. “They broke down barriers for future rap acts, crossed boundaries between rap and rock and dispelled old notions of what rap could be.”</p> <h2>Jay’s death and investigation</h2> <p>Jam Master Jay was shot and killed on October 30, 2002, at a recording studio in Jamaica, Queens. The group broke up after his death.</p> <p>For years, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/30/entertainment/jam-master-jay-murder-15-years/index.html">no one was arrested in the killing</a>, leaving one of the most tragic shootings in rap history unsolved.</p> <p>Finally, in August 2020, the US attorney for the Eastern District of New York unsealed a criminal indictment alleging two men conspired to kill Jam Master Jay in retaliation for a drug dispute.</p> <p>The indictment alleges that Jay was involved in transporting kilogram-quantities of cocaine between 1996 and 2002.</p> <p>In July 2002, he acquired about 10 kilograms of cocaine, which was intended to be distributed by Washington, Jordan and others, the indictment states. But a dispute between Washington and a co-conspirator led Jay to tell Washington he would be cut out of the transaction, prosecutors say.</p> <p>Washington and Jordan then allegedly conspired to kill him. On October 30, they entered Jam Master Jay’s recording studio with firearms, and Jordan fatally shot Mizell in the head and shot another man in the leg, according to the indictment.</p> <p>Jordan and Washington were each charged with murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and firearm-related murder. They have pleaded not guilty.</p> <p>CNN has reached out to their attorneys for comment.</p> <figure id="attachment_1044301" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1044301" style="width: 999px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" onerror="this.src='https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Untitled.png'" class="size-full wp-image-1044301" src="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb.jpg" alt="Seth DuCharme (left) - (Brendan McDermid-Reuters)" width="999" height="666" srcset="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb.jpg 999w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb-300x200.jpg 300w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb-768x512.jpg 768w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb-150x100.jpg 150w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb-600x400.jpg 600w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb-696x464.jpg 696w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Seth-DuCharme-left-Brendan-McDermid-Reuters-cnn-L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2ltYWdlL2luc3RhbmNlcy9jbHJyenpkczYwMDBjM2I2aG9pdjYwdnc0-L19jb-630x420.jpg 630w" sizes="(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-1044301" class="wp-caption-text">Seth DuCharme (left) – (Brendan McDermid-Reuters)</figcaption></figure> <p>Seth D.

So much so that he believes NBA players should only play about 10 years.</p> <p>“It’s not good for the league to have old players still hanging around,” the 59-year-old four-time NBA champion said. “Takes away from the advertisement. You know, you’re trying to sell Ja Morant sneakers, you’re not trying to sell LeBrons.”</p> <p>Salley’s comments come as James marked his latest achievement by setting a new career high with 20 rebounds.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="John Salley: The Average NBA Career is 3.5 Years, It's Not Good for NBA to Have Old Players (Part 4)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1YTuymKj5Kc?enablejsapi=1" width="1246" height="701" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>As the interview continued, the former NBA great compared James’ stint in the league to <a href="https://eurweb.com/tag/tiger-woods/"><strong>Tiger Woods</strong></a>’ longevity in golf, stating that a new golfer on the scene is a better fit than someone with years in and icon status.</p> <p>“Nike had to get rid of Nike Golf…” Salley said. “They had to get back to their core so they had to drop things that weren’t making them, they couldn’t, Tiger Woods was great for them but which one of the new up-and-coming kids are going to say ‘I want some Tiger Woods.’ No, they’re gonna go with who the new guy is. In business, especially in sports, you get in you get out. If you last ten years you are blessed.”</p> <p>So, what say you? Do you agree with John Salley that 10 years is a good length of time for players in the NBA? Or do you feel that if they are still going strong, it should not matter how much time players have to be a part of NBA magic?

But Friday night’s airstrikes against over 80 targets inside Iraq and Syria were — so far — a comparatively limited response to the worst loss of US military life in the region <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/29/politics/abbey-gate-afghanistan-families-house-roundtable/index.html">in nearly three years</a>.</p> <p>Friday night tried to sound loud, but would likely not echo for long. US Central Command said the US deployed heavy bombers — the B-1B Lancer — to hit 85 targets in seven locations. The strikes may be determined to have caused more damage when the sun rises. But it was far from the most pain the Pentagon was capable of delivering.</p> <p>There might be more; US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin suggested this was the beginning. But on Friday, the US response lasted just 30 minutes, the White House said. It was short, perhaps sharp, but not a shock.</p> <p>That was a clear and calculated choice. The Biden administration faced a near-impossible task: Hit hard enough to show you mean it, but ensure your opponent can absorb the blow without lashing out in return. The US had telegraphed its response for over five days, with senior US officials briefing about its nature, its severity, and even hinting at its targets.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="US orders 'multi-tier response' against Iran-backed militia" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HHWqmIY1TDk?enablejsapi=1" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>This warning was likely designed to reduce the risk of misunderstanding, and perhaps enable the militias targeted to shift locations and lessen the loss of life. It may have also been intended to ensure US strikes were not mistaken for the work of Israel, which could have sparked retaliation against the Israelis and risked another cycle of escalation.</p> <p>This volatility reduced Biden’s options to a sliver of US capabilities. When his predecessor Donald Trump had Iran’s most senior military figure, Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani, killed in 2020, the region was far from the brink. However, the risk of conflagration in 2024 is the highest in decades. Mistakes, or unanticipated successes, can lead to spirals, and that can lead to unavoidable, wider conflict.</p> <p>It is almost miraculous that wider conflict has not already erupted in the Middle East four months after the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel and the ongoing assault on Gaza it sparked. (Indeed, you might be left asking, if recent months have not been enough for the Palestinians’ prima facie allies to intervene, what would be?) Yet as of Friday, despite a continuing slow boil of tensions between the US, its allies, and Iran’s many proxies, a wider war remains unlikely.</p> <p>Wars normally happen in the rare event that both sides want them, in the more common occasion when parties determine open conflict is unavoidable, or sometimes when they have run out of diplomatic space. Or they stumble into them through a wild spiral of escalation.</p> <figure id="attachment_1045093" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1045093" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" onerror="this.src='https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Untitled.png'" class="size-full wp-image-1045093" src="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot.jpg" alt="B1 Bomber dropping bombs in mid east - screenshot" width="800" height="435" srcset="https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot.jpg 800w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot-300x163.jpg 300w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot-768x418.jpg 768w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot-150x82.jpg 150w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot-600x326.jpg 600w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot-696x378.jpg 696w, https://eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/B1-Bomber-dropping-bombs-in-mid-east-screenshot-772x420.jpg 772w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-1045093" class="wp-caption-text">B1 Bomber dropping bombs in mid-east – screenshot</figcaption></figure> <p>Neither Iran nor the United States wants a war. The Biden administration has elections looming, in which it does not need another costly foreign adventure, trouble over its Israel policy, or rising oil prices. Iran’s economy is still shaky, internal unrest is a not-yet-distant memory, and it has wider goals of outsized regional influence, milking its technical relationship with Moscow, and the apparent pacy pursuit of a nuclear weapon.</p> <p>It is for this crisis — seldom spoken of, but loud in the background noise — that perhaps Tehran and Washington are happy to save their confrontation. Since October 7, Iran increased its enrichment of uranium to over 83%, bolstering fears it was closing in on the nuclear bomb capability it insists it does not want.</p> <p>The UN watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency has suggested that Iranian uranium enrichment may have slowed in recent weeks, but the prospect of nuclear proliferation is again closer. In the meantime, Washington is happy to leave this looming crisis off its talking points. And Tehran is content with needling its main adversaries, fixing its internal woes, and avoiding broader conflict.</p> <p>There will likely follow criticism of the Biden administration for not using the same blunt and forceful approach as Trump in 2020. Yet the perception that might be the only means of projecting strength is dangerous. The US can inflict a lot of damage, anywhere it seeks, at any time.</p> <p>Biden’s decision so far to not send many other Americans to die in a wider conflict, in the name of avenging the deaths of three of their comrades, is not weakness, but the recognition that power is defined by its measured use.

Nouvelage-Reuters-File)</figcaption></figure> <p>The motion also defended Wade, saying that the attacks on his qualifications are “factually inaccurate, unsupported, and malicious, in addition to providing no basis whatsoever to dismiss the indictment or disqualify Special Prosecutor Wade.”</p> <p>“Defendants do not point to any action taken by the District Attorney or any of her staff that has been outside the character of an officer of the law specially charged to oversee either the special purpose grand jury’s investigation or the prosecution of these Defendants,” the motion reads.</p> <p>“Instead, the motions attempt to cobble together entirely unremarkable circumstances of Special Prosecutor Wade’s appointment with completely irrelevant allegations about his personal family life into a manufactured conflict of interest on the part of the District Attorney. The effort must fail.”</p> <h2>Wade and Willis respond to allegations of improper conduct</h2> <p>The judge overseeing the criminal case had ordered Willis to respond – setting the stage for a February 15 hearing on the matter. Willis, Wade and some of their colleagues could be forced to testify at the hearing after receiving subpoenas this week.</p> <p>Addressing allegations that the two took vacations together, Willis wrote that the “financial responsibility for personal travel taken is divided roughly evenly between the two, with neither being primarily responsible for expenses of the other, and all expenses paid for with individual personal funds.”</p> <p>In his affidavit, Wade said: “At times I have made and purchased travel for District Attorney Willis and myself from my personal funds. At other times District Attorney Willis has made and purchased travel for she and I from her personal funds.”</p> <p>Willis added that “there are no joint or shared finances or financial accounts,” that “there is not now and has never been any shared household,” and that neither Willis nor Wade are financially reliant on the other.</p> <p>Citing Wade’s affidavit, Willis wrote that “Defendants offer no support for their insistence that the exercise of any prosecutorial discretion (i.e., any charging decision or plea recommendation) in this case was impacted by any personal relationship.”</p> <p>“Without those additional factors, the existence of a relationship between members of a prosecution team, in and of itself, is simply not a status that entitles a criminal defendant any remedy,” she continued.</p> <p>In the spring of 2021, Wade was asked by Willis, along with two other attorneys, to assist in the investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.</p> <p>“Lawyers we spoke with about taking on the work expressed hesitation due to concerns related to violent rhetoric and potential safety issues for their families,” Wade said, adding that he initially pushed back when Willis asked him to serve as Special Prosecutor in the 2020 election subversion case.</p> <p>Willis argues that the February 15 hearing is not necessary and should be canceled.</p> <p>“Defendants’ failure to support their demands for extreme relief with evidence that would support any remedy makes an evidentiary hearing on this matter unnecessary,” Willis wrote in a court filing Friday responding to the allegations. “The State respectfully asks that, after consideration of the (Nathan) Wade Affidavit and other submitted exhibits, the motions be denied without further spectacle.”</p> <h2>Willis has no plan to step down</h2> <p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/01/politics/fani-willis-not-recuse-affair-allegations-trump-election-case-georgia/index.html">CNN previously reported that </a>Willis has no plans to step down from the election subversion case, a decision driven in part over concern that her departure could effectively end the case, as it’s unclear if there’s another prosecutor in Georgia willing to take it on.</p> <p>While the allegations have become a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/02/politics/gop-committee-subpoena-fani-willis/index.html">huge public focus</a> and distraction for Willis’ office, she had not directly addressed the allegations for weeks but did broadly defend Wade and her team.</p> <p>The alleged affair was first raised by Trump’s co-defendant, former 2020 campaign official Mike Roman, last month in a court filing that accused Willis of financially benefiting when Wade took her on lavish vacations, partly paid for with what he billed her office for work on the case. Willis appointed Wade special prosecutor in 2021.</p> <p>But there was little direct evidence included in that initial filing seeking her dismissal and for the case to be tossed, an effort Trump has since joined. Since then, credit card statements revealed in Wade’s divorce case show he paid for two plane tickets for Willis to San Francisco and Miami.</p> <p>Trump and the 14 remaining co-defendants were indicted by Willis last summer. No trial date has been set yet. Willis has asked for a trial date to be scheduled for August.</p> <p>Four other co-defendants have already pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors to testify.</p> <p>CNN’s Devan Cole contributed to this report.</p> <p><em>This story has been updated with additional reporting.</em></p> <p><strong>MORE NEW@S ON EURWEB: <a title="Tyrese Wants to Bother you with His Latest Problem: ‘I Wish I was Born Latino’ | Video" href="https://eurweb.com/2024/tyrese-celebrates-latin-culture-i-wish-i-was-born-latino/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyrese Wants to Bother you with His Latest Problem: ‘I Wish I was Born Latino’ | Video</a></strong></p> <p><script type="text/javascript"> window.addEventListener('load', function() { (function(c, id, p, d, w){ var i = d.createElement('iframe'); i.height = '0'; i.width = '0'; i.style = { display: 'none', position: 'absolute', visibility: 'hidden' }; i.src = "https://newsource-embed-prd.ns.cnn.com/articles/cnnvan-stats.html?article_id="+id+"&category="+c+"&publisher="+p+"&url=" + encodeURI(w.location); d.body.appendChild(i); })("US%20Politics", "L19jb21wb25lbnRzL2FydGljbGUvaW5zdGFuY2VzL2NsczR5ZHhxNDAwMjVja293NGlvdWVzbmw%3D", "24372", document, window)})</script></p> <p>The-CNN-Wire<br /> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> & © 2024 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
