A special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate whether Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones should be charged with criminal offenses for his alleged involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state.
16 minutes agoFILE - Georgia Lt. Gov. candidate Burt Jones participates in a Republican primary debate, May 3, 2022, in Atlanta. A special prosecutor has been assigned to look into whether Georgia Lt. Gov. Jones should face criminal charges over efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state. The Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia announced Thursday, April 11, 2024, that its executive director, Pete Skandalakis, will handle the matter.
As Willis was investigating possible illegal election meddling by Trump and others, Jones argued that Willis should not be able to pursue charges against him because she had hosted a fundraiser for his Democratic opponent in the lieutenant governor's race. Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled in July 2022 that Willis' actions created an “actual and untenable” conflict of interest.
