Former prosecutor Nathan Wade interrupted an interview with CNN Thursday after anchor Kaitlan Collins asked when his relationship with Fani Willis began.
Willis is the district attorney in charge of the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. While Willis admitted she hired Wade and started a romantic relationship with him, the order of those two events has not been verified. Collins decided to ask Wade directly when their relationship began.
“There’s been this effort to say that. OK. These exact dates are at issue in these exact dates are — I’m getting, I’m getting signaled here,” Wade said. Wade’s consultant asked to speak with him, causing a pause in the interview for a few moments as he spoke to Wade with their backs to the camera and Wade’s microphone turned off. After their conversation, Wade returned to his chair before Collins asked again when the romantic relationship started and ended.“So I believe that the public has, through the testimony and other interviews, a clear snapshot that this is clearly just a distraction. It is not a relevant issue in this case,” Wade said.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled in Willis’s favor earlier this year when he said there was insufficient evidence that Willis benefited financially from her relationship with Wade. However, he also called for either Willis or Wade to resign from the case, which Wade did the day McAfee issued his ruling.
