New prosecutor to take on Georgia election case against Trump and others

The leader of a nonpartisan organization announced he will take over the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed from the case. The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia was tasked with finding someone to lead the case after Willis was disqualified over an “appearance of impropriety” created by a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she’d chosen to lead it. The organization’s executive director, Pete Skandalakis, said Friday that he would take the case on himself.
