After his resignation as a prosecutor in the Georgia election interference case involving Donald Trump, Nathan Wade is now speaking out in his own defense. The reason for his resignation was due to his controversial relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Although there was a lengthy battle and testimony from Willis denying any misconduct, a Georgia judge ultimately decided that neither of them could remain on the case. Shortly after the decision, Wade stepped down as a top special prosecutor.
In a recent interview with ABC News on May 5, Wade discussed the hearing that almost derailed the entire trial. According to him, workplace romances are a common occurrence in American culture. "Workplace romances happen all the time, it's just a part of life. Unfortunately, it happened to both of us," he shared.
When asked if he regretted his relationship with Willis, Wade expressed that his only regret was the media attention it received. "I regret that our private matter became the focus of such an important prosecution," he explained. "This case is of utmost importance and I hate that my personal life has overshadowed the real issues at hand."
Following his resignation in March, Wade has returned to practicing law in the private sector. However, he did admit that he and Willis could have handled their relationship timeline better in order to avoid jeopardizing the case. "Absolutely, I'll admit that we could have approached it differently," Wade said when asked if they should have paused their relationship. "But in the heat of the moment, when strong feelings are involved, you start to do things that really shouldn't be anyone's concern."
In March, Trump's defense team filed an appeal to overturn the judge's ruling that Willis would not be disqualified from the case. However, the Georgia Court of Appeals has yet to make a decision on the motion. In the meantime, Willis will continue to lead the trial against Trump and his associates, although no date has been set.
Despite the judge's warning, Willis has been boldly discussing race in relation to the case. It remains to be seen how this will impact the trial and its outcome.
