A turning point in Georgia's high-stakes prosecution over the 2020 presidential election has arrived with the appointment of Peter J. Skandalakis as special prosecutor. As executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, he now takes on the responsibility of determining the fate of the state's sweeping racketeering case against Donald J. Trump and his allies.
Skandalakis leads the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, a statewide agency that supports district attorneys and manages assignments when elected prosecutors recuse or are disqualified.
