Peter Skandalakis Named New Prosecutor to Replace Fani Willis in Georgia Trump Election Case

Peter Skandalakis, head of Georgia's Prosecuting Attorneys' Council and a Republican, was named to replace disqualified DA Fani Willis in the 2020 election interference case against Trump and co-defendants. Skandalakis said he couldn't find anyone willing to accept appointment and would lead the prosecution himself, conducting a comprehensive review of materials before deciding whether to proceed or drop the case.
