Fox News host Sean Hannity reacts to a ruling in the case to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia election interference case against former President Trump on "Hannity." 

JUDGE RULES FANI WILLIS MUST STEP ASIDE FROM TRUMP CASE OR FIRE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NATHAN WADE

SEAN HANNITY: Now, today, the Superior Court judge in this case, Scott McAfee, all but accused Willis of lying, corruption and, frankly, gross misconduct. He slammed the, financial "cloud of impropriety" surrounding her illicit affair and co-mingling of finances with the outside counsel that she hired with hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer funds to help prosecute, of course, Donald Trump. And now he called her bizarre outburst during testimony "unprofessional." He accused both Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade, of, "potential on truthfulness." The judge even stated that, "an odor of mendacity remains." 

In other words, Fani's motives and actions as Fulton County D.A. stink to high heaven. He also rebuked Fani Willis for playing the race card during a recent speech designed to smear Donald Trump and others for merely exercising their legal rights. But of course, despite all the misconduct, that judge McAfee ruled that Fani Willis is free and clear to continue her quest against Donald Trump so long as she canned her former or current $654,000 lover, Nathan Wade. That makes sense. Right on cue, earlier today, Wade officially resigned. It appears that Willis threw Wade right under the bus. Naturally, the taxpayers of Georgia, they will not be receiving a refund and Fani Willis will not face any legal consequences.

The federal government on Friday designated a large area off the New England coast for offshore wind production development, setting the stage for a possible lease sale within the Gulf of Maine.

The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said in a statement that the New England zone, which renewable energy advocates have identified as crucial for the growth of wind power, "avoids important areas for lobster fishing, North Atlantic right whale habitat, and other important fishing areas and habitats."

Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills, and three Maine lawmakers — Republican Sen. Susan Collins, independent Sen. Angus King and Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree — also issued a joint statement saying the designated area "preserves vital fishing grounds and seeks to minimize potential environmental and ecological impacts to the Gulf of Maine."

US'S FIRST LARGE OFFSHORE WIND FARM OFFICIALLY OPENS IN NEW YORK, WITH MORE TO COME

The move came a day after the country's first commercial-scale offshore wind farm opened off Montauk Point, New York. Environmental groups cheered the announcement, but some members of the commercial fishing industry, which has opposed wind development in areas where they trap lobsters, said they still have concerns about locating offshore wind in the area.

"There are still too many unanswered questions about the impacts of offshore wind on the marine environment, commercial fishermen and our fishing heritage," said Kevin Kelley, a spokesperson for the Maine Lobstermen's Association, a large fishing trade group.

Kelley said the organization appreciates that the wind energy area removes some of the most critical fishing groups, but still believes no part of the Gulf of Maine should be "industrialized with offshore wind."

Several environmental and labor groups came out in favor of the proposal on Friday.

"For the most part, this designation has carved out the most sensitive areas and excluded them from wind turbine construction," said Kate Sinding Daly, senior vice president of law and policy at Conservation Law Foundation.

The wind energy area consists of about 2 million acres off Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire that are 23 miles to 92 miles off the coast depending on the location, the BOEM said. The agency said development of the area could potentially surpass state goals for offshore wind energy in the Gulf of Maine.

BOEM is expected in a few days to announce its intent to prepare an environmental assessment of potential impacts of offshore wind leasing activities in the area.
