Disgraced Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade claims EVERYONE is having an office affair because it is 'as American as apple pie' but is furious his fling with DA Fani Willis overshadowed election-interference case

Scandal-hit special prosecutor Nathan Wade has spoken in public for the first time after quitting his ex-lover and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' case against Donald Trump. 

Wade has been at the center of a bitter divorce case, where it was revealed he had a relationship with Willis. The scandal rocked the county's election-interference case against Trump and Wade was forced to resign as top prosecutor.

Giving his first interview since his resignation, he appeared indignant and unapologetic regarding his relationship with Willis. 

'Workplace romances are as American as apple pie,' he told ABC News. 'It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us.' 

Wade was a little more willing to express regret when asked if he was unhappy with how everything went down but he still had his guard up.

'I regret that that private matter became the focal point of this very important prosecution,' he told ABC News. 'This is a very important case.'

'I hate that my personal life has begun to overshadow the true issues in the case.'

He also said he tried to shelve his feelings for Willis given the importance of the case but said his 'feelings are so strong.'

'Absolutely, absolutely. I'll concede that that could have been, an approach,' said Wade. 

'But there again, when you are in the middle of it, these feelings are developing and you get to a point where the feelings are, are so strong that, you know, you start to want to do things that really are none of the public's concern.'

Willis' conduct was examined during a series of sensational hearings, with Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ultimately slamming her for a 'tremendous lapse in judgment' and for acting in an 'unprofessional manner.'

Wade did not yet respond to accusations of being in contempt of court by his estranged wife in an April divorce filing.

Joycelyn Wade made the accusation in court papers claiming that her former partner had failed to pay $4,400 worth of her medical bills.

'Defendant urgently requires medical procedures, namely an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound, due to severe physical symptoms she has been enduring,' the filings state.

'These symptoms have significantly impacted her ability to consume most foods, leading to a substantial weight loss.' 

She claims she is unable to pay the bills herself since Wade stopped paying child support for their two children. 

However, she escaped with just a slap on the wrist, after McAfee dramatically ruled she could stay on the Trump election interference case if Wade removes himself.
