To an ABC news exclusive, our interview with Nathan Wade. He helped lead the prosecution in the election interference case against former President Trump and others in Georgia. But in March, a judge's order forced him to resign after it was revealed that he had a romantic relationship with Fannie Willis, the Fulton County DA who hired him. Now he's speaking out for the first time about that relationship.

[00:00:21]

Workplace romances are as American as apple pie. It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us. Do you regret it? 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.

[00:01:01]

But 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?

[00:01:16]

Absolutely. I'll concede that that could have been an approach. But there again, when you are in the middle of it, these feelings are developing. Are developing and you get to a point to where the feelings are so strong that you start to want to do things that really are none of the public's concerned.

Wade and Willa Wade and Willis have both publicly said that relationship ended in 2023. Much more of my interview with Nathan Wade tomorrow on Good Morning, America and ABC News Live Prime.
