Fani’s tab comes due for Fulton, TV ads get nasty & ‘Magic City’ night fouls out
It seems forever ago we were all gripped by the “Fulton County v Donald Trump” summer court drama, but since Trump & his co-conspirators slipped out of DA Fani Willis’ grip (and that of Jack Smith, too), it seems surreal to think that her office – and in essence the taxpayers of Fulton County – may be on the hook for the Trump defense team’s $17 million legal tab, right?
Whelp; here we are. Naturally her office can’t possibly absorb that cost without it shuttering the office altogether, so at the very least, superior court judge Scott MacAfee threw her a lifeline – allowing the county to join in taking on the matter.
On to discuss with me is CBS News’ legal analyst Thane Rosenbaum.
Then, the 2026 gubernatorial TV ads are getting nasty, with Rick Jackson going predictably anti-immigrant, Burt Jones trying (and mostly failing) to tie Jackson to Planned Parenthood and then there’s Democrat Jason Esteves putting his chips on the table with a TV ad checking off a lot of the necessary boxes for him to be seen as viable by more than 4-5% of those polled.
Finally, how on earth did the Atlanta Hawks’ planned “Magic City” promotional night ever make it past a pitch meeting in the first place? The NBA put the brakes on the – ahem – “cultural” theme, and I just have to wonder why the league didn’t have a system in place where they’d have to sign off on stuff like this anyway.
