Ex-Fulton County Prosecutors Defends Workplace Romance As 'American As Apple Pie'
HuffPost
Nathan Wade resigned so District Attorney Fani Willis could continue prosecuting the case.
Nathan Wade, the former Fulton County special prosecutor involved in former President Donald Trump’s election interference case, and who resigned after his relationship with District Attorney Fani Willis was made public, said workplace romances are common.
“Workplace romances are as American as apple pie,” Wade told ABC News on Sunday. “It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us.”
Wade continued, not confirming whether he regretted the relationship with Willis: “I regret that that private matter became the focal point of this very important prosecution. This is a very important case.”
“I hate that my personal life has begun to overshadow the true issues in the case,” he said.
In January, rumors began that Wade and Willis were in a romantic relationship when a lawyer for one of Trump’s co-defendants alleged that Willis benefitted from Wade’s hiring because Wade took Willis on dates.
