Bizarre on-camera moment as Nathan Wade’s handler blocks the ex-Trump prosecutor from revealing when Fani Willis affair began

A “media consultant” for Nathan Wade interrupted a taped TV interview Wednesday as t💙he ousted former Donal🌌d Trump prosecutor was being grilled on the timeline of his relationship with Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis. 

The bizarre moment 𝔉unfolded after Wade revealed that he still “regularly speaks” with Willis and has told the embattled DA that the election interfere♒nce case against the former president “will live on” despite his removal.  

“When did the romantic relationship between the two of you start?” CNN’s “The Source” host Kaitlan Collins asked Wade .

“Yes, so we get into — there’s been this effort to say that, OK, these exact dates are at issue and these exact dates are,” the former special prosecutor began to respond, when he apparently noticed his handler waving off camera. 

“I’m getting — I’m getting signaled here,” Wade said.

A man, identifie💯d by CNN as Wade’s “media consultant,” approached the set and requested to speak with his client off-mic.

The pair 🌊huddled together away from Collins for nearly a minute, appar▨ently discussing how to answer the simple question.  

Wade smiled a🦹s he sat back in his chair after t𒀰he impromptu consultation.

“Everything OK?” Collins asked Wade. 

“Yeah,” the former prosecutor responde🍎d, b♎efore dodging the question. 

Wade argued — after the mid-interview huddle — that the timeline question is “a pending issue” before the Georgia Court of Appeals.

“I don’t choose to say or do anything that would jeopardize the case or the court’s ruling,” he said when pressed about the fuzzy answers he’s previously provided about when his relationship with Willis started. 

Attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents Trump co-defendant Michael Roman in the sprawling racketeering and influence case, has argued that the “improper” and “clandestine” relationship started as early as 2019.

Wade was hired by Willis to lead the investigation on Nov. 1, 2021, one day before he filed for divorce. He has testified t🍎hat the tr♌yst started 2022. 

Willis, 52, that it began “betweenཧ February and April” of that year.&n🅰bsp;

Neither has provided a precise date of 🍌when the fling be🐼gan. 

Wade and Willis have similarly given conflicting t🍌ime periods for when their romance ended.  

Wade claim༒s they ended🅘 things in June or July 2023, while Willis maintains they broke up in August of that year. 

Trump, 77, was indicted by the Georgia special🌳 grand jury on Aug, 14, 2023.

Legal proceedings in Trump’s 2020 election interference case, for which he faces 13 felony counts, are on pause as the Geo🌠rgia appeals court considers his motion to disqualify Willis for alleged prosecutorial misconduct.

McAfee had previously ruled that the embattled DA could remain on the case as long as her former lover stepped down — which he subsequently did.

Trump’s appeal se𝔍eks to have McAfee’s decision overturned before his case heads to tria♏l. 

The former president’s legal team argues that Willis’ entanglement with Wade amounted to a conflict of interest, and that the DA misused public funds by benefitting from her boyfriend’s earnings when he took her on lavish vacations. 

“The only thing I regret is the timing of it,” Wade said of his romance with his former boss.
