Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tamar Hallerman joins the podcast to discuss the in-depth interview she and colleague Bill Rankin conducted with attorney Ashleigh Merchant. Merchant explained the process she went through before deciding to file a motion seeking the dismissal of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election interference case against former President Donald Trump. Over at the state Legislature, state House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, a Republican, and Democratic state Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver describe the overall tenor of the session as it approaches its end Thursday. And on Capitol Hill, Tia Mitchell offers her insights on what it's like to cover one of Washington's most controversial elected officials, GOP U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is back in the headlines after filing a motion to remove U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The hosts talk to lawmakers from both sides of the aisle about the bills they're watching most closely as the session comes down to the final two days. Republican state Rep. Marcus Wiedower of Watkinsville starts the conversation by discussing the sports betting bill that he's working to pass before the session ends. Wiedower also comments on immigration legislation introduced following the killing of Laken Riley in his home district. On the other side of the aisle, Democratic state Rep. Stacey Evans of Atlanta talks with the hosts about her priorities for the final days. She says the Democratic minority's big job is to block what it see as bad bills rather than pass their own legislation. Then the hosts move from the Legislature to the courtroom, to discuss the extended interview that AJC reporters Bill Rankin and Tamar Hallerman conducted with defense lawyer Ashleigh Merchant, who filed the motion to dismiss Fani Willis from the Trump election conspiracy case.

The hosts start with news that broke just before they began the podcast: Republican U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson announced he won't run for reelection after four terms in the U.S. House. Then, Hallerman joins the podcast to discuss the revealing interview she and AJC reporter Bill Rankin conducted with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Will she run for higher office? Will she be in the courtroom as a prosecutor in Fulton's election conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump? How does she respond to GOP critics who attack her on a number of fronts? Plus, after a deep dive into the petitions collected by opponents of the Atlanta police training center, the AJC, WABE and other media partners find it's unlikely there are enough valid signatures to put the future of the center up for a public referendum. Bunch joins the podcast to lay out the findings. Have a question for the show? Call the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at 404-526-AJCP. That's 404-526-2527.

Republican legislators aren't happy with the order from a federal judge that they redraw Georgia's Congressional and legislative district maps to more fairly represent Black voters. But they rejected a strategy to ask for a stay of the process until after the 2024 election. That decision means they'll go ahead with a special map-drawing session that Governor Kemp has set to begin on November 29, even as Republicans plan their appeal of the order. On yesterday's podcast, Republican Speaker of the Georgia House Jon Burns said he thought the legislature would come up with maps that would please Federal Judge Steve Jones, who ordered the redrawing of districts. Today, State Representative Saira Draper joins the podcast to offer the Democratic point of view on the special session. Then, the team discusses the frank interview that Frank Hogue, attorney for Jenna Ellis gave to AJC Breakdown podcast hosts Bill Rankin and Tamar Hallerman. Hogue talked about how quickly he and his client were able to agree on a plea deal for Ellis, one of the defendants in the Fani Willis Trump Election conspiracy case. Plus, Georgia GOP state senators upbraided the secretary of state's office for failing to install upgrades to the Dominion voting system. They worry that without the upgrades the machines are vulnerable to being hacked. The secretary of state's office pointed out that the upgrade would have to be done manually in each of the state's 40,000 Dominion voting machines. Have a question for the show?

The third episode of this season's Breakdown podcast by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution examines the chaotic aftermath of the sweeping racketeering indictment against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants. AJC journalists Bill Rankin, Tamar Hallerman, and Shannon McCaffrey explore one attempt — and at least two others that are expected — to move the case from Fulton Superior Court to the U.S. District Court just a few blocks away. The episode includes reactions from three of the special purpose grand jurors who heard from almost 75 witnesses, recommended charges and collected evidence that was used as the foundation of the racketeering indictment. And it introduces listeners to the 34-year-old judge who was randomly assigned the case.

In the final episode of this season's “Breakdown” podcast by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, hosts Bill Rankin and Tamar Hallerman examine the recent federal indictment against former President Donald Trump in Washington and look ahead to what is about to happen in Fulton County. Episode 31 notes how much of what the podcast previously reported as to what happened in Georgia after the 2020 presidential election is part of the indictment obtained by special counsel Jack Smith. And the episode explains how the upcoming indictment in Fulton could be, in the long run, more consequential than the classified documents case in South Florida and the election interference case in Washington. That's because if Trump is convicted in one or both of them, he could try to pardon himself if he is reelected to the presidency or he could be pardoned if another GOP contender is voted into the White House. That would not apply to the case being brought in Georgia. You can download the Breakdown podcast from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts or your favorite podcasting platform.

The latest episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's “Breakdown” podcast takes a close look at the data breach at the Coffee County elections office which occurred one day after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Podcast hosts Bill Rankin and Tamar Hallerman interview Mark Niesse, the AJC's elections and voting rights expert. Niesse has covered the wild developments surrounding the Coffee County data breach on Jan. 7, 2021, since news of it first surfaced. He explains how it happened, why news of it first came to light this past May and why state elections officials should be alarmed. The Fulton County special purpose grand jury, which is investigating former President Donald Trump and his allies, has issued subpoenas to Sidney Powell and the data firm SullivanStrickler. Powell, who was once a lawyer for the Trump campaign, oversaw the breach and hired the data firm. Niesse, who was at the Cobb County audit of absentee ballots, also recalls the unusual and sudden visit by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Meadows was told he could not go inside to see what was going on. And Niesse also discusses the state legislative hearings he covered in December 2020 when Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani testified and presented now-debunked evidence of voter fraud. Separately, the 12th episode of “The Trump Grand Jury” also explains why the Fulton special grand jury may be interested in hearing from former Georgia congressman and House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

AJC journalists Bill Rankin and Tamar Hallerman focus on former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's grand jury appearance and U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham's attempts to avoid his testimony by the Fulton County special purpose grand jury of former President Donald Trump and his allies for what happened in Georgia after the 2020 presidential election. Giuliani, who has been Trump's personal lawyer, showed up at the Fulton courthouse to testify before the grand jury after his lawyers had tried unsuccessfully to postpone it. Graham, who placed two phone calls to the Secretary of State's office in the weeks after the election, was scheduled to testify before the special grand jury on Tuesday. But the federal appeals court in Atlanta - the fifth court so far to be involved in Graham's case - stepped in two days before the South Carolina senator was to appear and delayed his appearance. Rankin and Hallerman also cover the dustup between Gov. Brian Kemp and the Fulton District Attorney's Office and decisions by judges in Colorado and New Mexico ordering two other lawyers who represented the Trump campaign to come to Atlanta and testify before the grand jury.

One sitting president was placed under arrest for speeding. Two former presidents came extremely close to being indicted, one from an investigation arising from the Watergate scandal, the other from the Whitewater controversy. Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporters Bill Rankin and Tamar Hallerman examine past criminal cases involving presidents and vice presidents. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is overseeing the special purpose grand jury investigation of former President Donald Trump and his allies for what happened here following the 2020 presidential election. But she does not have much of a playbook to follow because no president or former president has ever been indicted. The episode also recaps a busy week of developments in the grand jury investigation. This includes the outcomes of subpoenas being issued to Trump's former personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and to U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was sitting in his kitchen on the afternoon of Jan. 2, 2021, when he received a phone call from the White House. President Donald Trump, his chief of staff and some of his lawyers were on the line. During the conversation, Trump told Raffensperger to “find” him 11,780 votes to overturn the election results. That was one more than the 11,779-vote margin that gave Georgia's 16 electoral college votes to President Joe Biden and turned Georgia Democratic for the first time since 1992. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's award-winning Breakdown podcast returns for its ninth season — The Trump Grand Jury — to cover an investigation into that hourlong phone call as well as other events in Georgia that happened in the weeks following Election Day. Episode One explores what happened during the phone call between Trump and Raffensperger as well as another call made to Frances Watson, the Secretary of State's lead elections investigator. Both conversations were recorded. The AJC's legal affairs reporter, Bill Rankin, returns as the host of Season 9 of the Breakdown podcast. He is joined by senior reporter Tamar Hallerman, who covered the Trump White House when she was the newspaper's Washington correspondent.

Season nine of Breakdown: The Trump Grand Jury will focus on an ongoing investigation into what former President Donald Trump and his allies did in Georgia in the weeks following the 2020 presidential election. The new season of Breakdown is available now, and you can listen on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The phone call from the White House came in at about 3 p.m. on Jan. 2, 2021. Then President Donald Trump, his chief of staff and his lawyers were on the line talking to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and members of his staff. During the recorded phone call, Trump asked Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” which would give him one more vote than he needed to flip the outcome of Georgia's presidential election. On Monday, a special purpose grand jury will convene in Fulton County to investigate what transpired during this phone call and others the former president made to officials in Georgia in the weeks following the 2020 election. The extraordinary proceeding will be the focus of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's award-winning podcast “Breakdown”. Episodes of the podcast's ninth season — The Trump Grand Jury — will be released in the coming weeks. It will be hosted by Bill Rankin, the AJC's legal affairs reporter, and Tamar Hallerman, a senior reporter who covered the Trump administration when she was the AJC's Washington correspondent.

Why build a school in Africa? And how? Listen to what Kathy Greene learned about this when she left her accounting job to embark on this mission. Sometimes it’s a change in someone else’s life that changes the course of our own life. For today's guest Kathy Greene it began when her daughter, Heidi, had a conversation with a man she sat next to on a plane. The man was Bill Rankin, the CEO of Global Aids Interfaith Alliance (GAIA) a non-profit that serves needs in Africa. Soon after Kathy left her full-time accounting position and joined her daughter working with the Hamels Foundation to raise funds and build schools in Africa.
