Ousted former Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade was in the middle of an interview with CNN on Wednesday, when he was suddenly interrupted by a 'media consultant'.
In what was a bizarre moment, in the middle of an 'as-live' television interview, Wade was being questioned by CNN's Kaitlan Collins about the timeline of his relationship timeline with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat.
Collins asked Wade when his romantic relationship with Willis had begun, but just as he was about to get into full flow with his answer, he was interrupted by his media consultant who told him to take his microphone off.
Wade suddenly appeared distracted and looked off camera stating that he was being 'signaled here'.

In the background, a CNN producer could be heard telling the cameraman to 'keep rolling.'
When Wade got back to his seat, Collins resumed her line of questioning, asking Wade if he was 'ok'.
'Just to revisit the question, it was to clarify when the romantic relationship started and when it ended,' Collins told Wade once again.

When Wade returned, he looked particularly sheepish at what had just happened
'I believe that the public has through, through the testimony and other interviews, the public has a clear snapshot that this is clearly just a distraction,' Wade replied.
'It is not a relevant issue in this case. And I think that we should be focusing on more of the facts and the indictment of the case.'
The appeals court might hear arguments in October over former President Trump’s efforts to have Willis removed from the election interference case she brought against him.
Last week the appeals court froze Trump’s criminal trial proceedings as it takes up his appeal to remove Willis from the case.
