Georgia election interference case against Trump will carry on for now with new prosecutor

What seemed like the end of the election subversion case against President Donald Trump just got some oxygen added to its flame. Hours before the court deadline to find a replacement head prosecutor — after the former Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis, was disqualified for misconduct — a veteran prosecutor was appointed.

Peter Skandalakis, director of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Council of Georgia, assigned himself to the case after being unable to find a replacement for Willis.

“This morning, an Administrative Order appointing me to the case of State of Georgia v. Donald J. Trump, et al. was filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court of Fulton County,” Skandalakis said in a press release. “The filing of this appointment reflects my inability to secure another conflict prosecutor to assume responsibility for this case.”

He said that he couldn’t allow the case to be dismissed because the American people have a “legitimate interest” in its outcome.
