Consultant Halts CNN Interview When Nathan Wade Pressed on Fani Willis Timeline

Former Atlanta prosecutor Nathan Wade was interrupted during a CNN interview by his media consultant when questioned about his relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked about the timeline of Wade's romantic relationship with Willis, which has become a contentious issue in the legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump for alleged election interference in 2020. Wade insisted that the relationship was irrelevant to the case and emphasized the importance of allowing the court to address the issues at hand.

Wade was ordered to resign after Judge Scott McAfee determined that his affair with Willis did not constitute a conflict of interest. Both Wade and Willis have provided conflicting accounts of when their relationship ended, adding to the controversy. The legal proceedings against Trump are currently on hold as the Georgia appeals court considers a motion to disqualify Willis for alleged prosecutorial misconduct. This decision could significantly impact the future of the case, which involves 13 felony counts related to election interference.
