Former Donald Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade has ridiculously claimed that his relationship with Fanny Willis ended at the “moment” they realized they loved each other, but this is completely different from his ex-girlfriend’s interpretation. That’s a contradictory statement.
On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Wade claimed that “over time” he developed feelings for the Fulton County District Attorney, who appointed him special prosecutor in the election fraud case in 2021. did.
“You’re not meant to fall in love,” he told the show in his first interview since being forced to step down from the case in March.
“You’re not going to develop any kind of relationships at work. You’re not trying to do that. Those kinds of things develop organically. They grow over time.
“The moment we had that solemn moment, we called it quits,” he claimed.
Wade’s statement contradicts Willis’ testimony in February that there was “always” tension in her relationship with Wade and that they would have “intense arguments” about the fact that she was his equal.
“Mr. Wade is used to women, as he once told me, the only thing a woman can do for him is make him a sandwich,” Conflict of Interest in Election Obstruction Lawsuit Against Willis says. She spoke at a hearing focused on whether there is. Trump and his allies.
“I don’t need anything from a man. A man is not a plan. A man is a companion.”
Mr. Wade separated from his wife several years ago, but the matter came close to a temporary settlement in January.
He and Willis have repeatedly maintained that their romance did not begin until 2022, after Wade was chosen to prosecute the Trump case, and that the relationship between them ended in 2023.

When asked by ABC News’ Lindsey Davis if he regretted his relationship with Willis, who is currently under indictment, Wade gave a roundabout response.
“I am disappointed that a private matter has become the focus of this very important prosecution. This is a very important case,” he said.
“I hate that my personal life is starting to overshadow the real issues in the case.”
During the interview, Wade appeared to downplay the scandalous case, which still threatens to upend the DA’s office’s case against the former president.
“Workplace romance is as American as apple pie,” he says, adding, “It happens to everyone. But it happened to both of us.”
