>> i want people to know the real me. >> linsey: for the first time since leaving the case, nathan wade is speaking out with his relationship with fani willis which forced his resignation from one of the biggest high profile legal battles in u.s. history. >> work place romances are as american as apple pie. it happens to everyone. but it happened to the two of us. >> linsey: 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. >> linsey: the relationship created a whirl wind of

distraction in the indictment of former president trump and 18 others for alleged election interference. some of whom have taken plea deals, while others, including trump, have pleaded not guilty. attorneys for some of the defendants argue wade and willis' actions disqualify them from trying the case, filing a mowing against the prosecutors and revealing the romance to the public. a washington post columnist wrote, what were they thinking? how could two seasoned attorneys embroiled in the prosecution of a president start a romance and not see trouble coming a mile away. what were you thinking in that moment? >> you know, again, you don't plan to develop feelings. you don't plan to fall in love. you don't plan to have some relationship in the work place. you don't set out to do that. those things develop organically. they develop over time.

and the minute we had that sobering moment, we discontinued it. >> linsey: for nearly one month after news of their relationship broke, neither prosecutor acknowledged it publicly. so for 25 days we didn't hear from you or district attorney willis. you're a public servant, getting paid by the state of georgia. why not say, okay, we'll make a statement, get on top of this? >> let me say this. my conversation here with you today is just that. it's nathan's conversation. i do not speak for the district attorney's office. i do not speak for their position. as a matter of fact, i am certain that they would rather me not be having this exchange with you. with that, i want to continue to protect the integrity of this prosecution. i don't want to say or do

anything that would jeopardize this case. >> linsey: the judge required wade to withdraw if willis wanted to stay on the case and ultimately determined that while georgia law does noted permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices, wade and willis' action showed a tremendous lapse in judgment and created a significant appearance of impropriety. do you think that you've done any kind of damage to this case? >> none at all. >> linsey: even the public perception of it? >> there again, this takes me back to the initial statement that i made. my private life became the focal point of the case. my private life has nothing to do with the merits of that prosecution. >> linsey: one aspect wade said he wasn't prepared for was the intense public scrutiny and harassment he said he's faced. you didn't realize when you took the case your life was going to be under a microscope. >> i did not realize that my life would be in danger. the microscope, i don't have a problem with.

the truth is, you know, the worst that you could find was the fact that i had a relationship with someone or that i happened to be going through a divorce. that's okay. that's okay. i have nothing to hide. >> linsey: some of the attacks have come from the former president himself. is there any part of you that regrets that you gave him any aspect to say, oh, you have to question the credibility of this case because of the relationship between fani willis and nathan wade? >> so, while i will concede, ms. davis, that the relationship did not happen in ideal timing, i don't think that anything that occurred during the course of the relationship should cause

question as it would relate to the sufficiency of the indictment, as it would relate to evidence that was uncovered, may or may not be presented at trial. >> linsey: as of now there is no trial date set and it is unclear that donald trump for his co-defendants will go to court in georgia before election day. but wade is confident the case will move forward. >> there's going to be that day of reckoning where a fulton county jury there in fulton county, georgia, would have to make that decision. >> linsey: now one thing wade says he does regret is the impact the scandal has had on his adult children. he wants people to know that he was separated at the time of the relationship with fani willis and that he has total confidence in the prosecution of this case against trump moving forward. a lot to unpack. a lot more coming up on abc news prime tonight.
