Georgia's Prosecuting Attorneys Council appoints Pete Skandalakis as a special prosecutor to investigate Lt. Gov. Burt Jones for potentially interfering in Georgia's electoral vote count after the 2020 presidential election.
Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney barred District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting Jones in an election interference case due to a conflict of interest, leading to Skandalakis taking charge.
As special prosecutor, Skandalakis will determine whether to pursue charges against Jones for falsely claiming Trump won Georgia's 2020 election and advocating to overturn Joe Biden's victory.
Lt. Gov. Burt Jones expressed anticipation for a speedy resolution to the case and criticized District Attorney Willis, aiming to move past the situation quickly.
