Georgia lieutenant governor slams Fani Willis as new prosecutor enters fray: ‘Mockery of this legal process'
2024-04-12
[Washington Examiner] A state prosecutor has been appointed in an investigation into Georiga Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’s alleged role in attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the Peach State.

The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia announced on Thursday that its executive director, Peter Skandalakis, has been appointed to investigate if Jones violated any criminal laws. No further comment was given on the investigation.

A judge in the state had previously disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from investigating Jones after she sponsored a fundraiser for his Democratic opponent in the lieutenant gubernatorial election in 2022. Willis indicted former President Donald Trump, among other co-conspirators, in a sweeping racketeering indictment last year on charges related to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

In the sweeping indictment of Trump and others, Jones was referenced 11 times under the pseudonym "unindicted co-conspirator Individual 8." Jones was a state senator during the 2020 election and was elected lieutenant governor in November 2022.
