"Unindicted coconspirator" in Trump case under investigation for role in 2020 "fake elector" scheme

One of Georgia's top elected Republicans is now under investigation for his role in a "fake elector" scheme that aimed to steal the 2020 election for former President Donald Trump. In a two-sentence press statement, the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, which provides legal support to district attorneys across the state, announced that its executive director, Peter J. Skandalakis, "or his designee," would lead an investigation into Lt. Gov. Burt Jones.
