The head of the Georgia Prosecuting Attorneys' Council revealed on Friday that he appointed himself to take over the election case in Georgia against President Donald Trump and several others, a move that comes after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified from it.
The council's director, Peter Skandalakis, said he would take the case on after he was unable to find another prosecutor to do it.
"The filing of this appointment reflects my inability to secure another conflict prosecutor to assume responsibility for this case," Skandalakis said. "Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment."
