New Prosecutor Takes Over Georgia Election Interference Case Against Trump and His Allies

HeadlineNov 17, 2025

The Georgia election interference case against President Trump and his allies will now have a new prosecutor after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed from the case. The executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, Pete Skandalakis, is set to take over the case. Georgia State University law professor Anthony Michael Kreis told the Associated Press, “I doubt anything will ever move forward with the president.” But the case could proceed against 14 other Trump allies, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Trump has pardoned Giuliani, Meadows and dozens of other Republican officials and activists accused of helping him overturn the results of the 2020 election, but the pardons only apply to federal cases, not the Georgia election interference case, which is a state-level prosecution.
