Ex-Trump Prosecutor Nathan Wade Says Affair With Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis Was As ‘American As Apple Pie’

Former Donald Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade revealed that he does not regret his affair with Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, but does the controversy that occurred over it. 

In an interview with ABC News, he commented on the matter after resigning from the Trump election case in Georgia, after a judge decided either he or Willis had to step down. 

When asked if he regretted the affair, Wade said, “I regret that that private matter became the focal point of this very important prosecution.” 

“Workplace romances are as American as apple pie,” Wade discussed. “It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us.”

Willis and Wade ensured that while they were romantically involved, nothing started between them until 2022, after Wade was selected to prosecute the Trump case, and things ended in 2023. 

However, there are allegations from former employees that the pair were involved starting in 2019 or 2020. 

The judge ruled that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that there was a conflict of interest, but in his opinion, he wrote, “an odor of mendacity remains.”

“When you are in the middle of it, these feelings are developing, and you get to a point where the feelings are so strong that you start to want to do things that really are not the public’s concern,” Wade divulged. 

Last July, a grand jury indicted Trump and 18 others on conspiracy charges for their plot to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
