Nathan Wade under fire for controversial comments about Fani Willis

Nathan Wade, a former prosecutor in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case, appeared on the Daily Show and discussed his relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Wade described Willis as more analogous to a client than a boss and faced criticism for his appearance on the show. The interview included moments where Wade and the host engaged in banter, with some social media users bashing Wade for his responses. Wade and Willis have been scrutinized for their past intimate relationship, with Trump's allies arguing it was a conflict of interest. Despite this, a judge ruled that Willis could remain on the case as long as Wade withdrew, which he did. Trump has appealed the ruling, and an appeals court will review the matter in October. Wade's recent media appearances have frustrated Willis's allies, with his team interrupting a pre-taped interview on CNN when asked about the timeline of his romantic relationship. Wade defended himself, stating that the public already had a clear understanding of when his relationship with Willis began and that it was a distraction from the facts of the case.
