Wade conceded he had certain regrets.
Ex-Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade speaks out: 'Workplace romances are as American as apple pie ... it happened to the two of us'Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis speaks at a press conference next to prosecutor Nathan Wade after a Grand Jury brought back indictments against former president Donald Trump and his allies in their attempt to overturn the state's 2020 election results, in Atlanta, Aug. 14, 2023.
"Workplace romances are as American as apple pie," Wade told ABC News' Linsey Davis in an exclusive sit-down interview. "It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us.""I regret that that private matter became the focal point of this very important prosecution," Wade responded. "This is a very important case."
Wade's resignation from the case came hours after Judge Scott McAfee declined to outright disqualify Willis, but ruled that either she or Wade must step aside from the case due to a "significant appearance of impropriety" stemming from their romantic relationship that occurred while they were prosecuting the case., seeking the removal of Willis as well. The Georgia Court of Appeals has not yet determined if they will take up the appeal.
"At some point, once that bond is there, and if democracy is on the line, as has been described, do you say maybe we pause this until after the case is over?" Davis asked.
