Then why can "that" be used in place as a relative pronoun and not be nominative case with whom referencing an indirect object?

from what I'm reading, I think with a relative clause, it doesn't matter what who/whom is referencing, it matters how it's used in the clause.

"The witnesses whom I interviewed gave conflicting evidence."

"witnesses" is the subject of the sentence, but "I" is the subject of the relative clause, and "whom" is the object.

"The witnesses who interviewed me gave conflicting evidence."

now "who" is the subject of the clause, and "me" is the object.
