"Georgia State Prosecutor to Investigate Lt. Gov. Burt Jones' Role as Fake Trump Elector"

A state prosecutor will investigate whether Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones violated criminal law by participating in efforts to help former President Donald Trump subvert the 2020 election results in the state. Jones was one of the 16 fake pro-Trump electors in Georgia who signed an "unofficial electorate certificate" in a plan to subvert the Electoral College. The Fulton County District Attorney was disqualified from investigating Jones, and it took nearly two years for a replacement to be appointed to decide whether a case should move forward. Jones has expressed eagerness for a quick resolution and to move forward with the state's business.

Georgia's Lt. Gov. Burt Jones Under Investigation for Alleged Election Meddling

Georgia's Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones will face an inquiry for his involvement as a fake elector for Donald J. Trump in the 2020 presidential election. The district attorney of Fulton County, Fani T. Willis, was disqualified from pursuing the case due to a conflict of interest, but the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, Pete Skandalakis, has now taken over the investigation. This comes as part of a broader investigation into fake electors enlisted by the Trump campaign in several swing states.

"Trump Ally Tormenting Fani Willis Sparks Senate Panel Inquiry and Ethics Complaint"

Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, a Donald Trump ally, is using his elected office to support legislative investigations into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, accusing her of mishandling criminal cases and spending taxpayer funds on the Trump prosecution. Jones, who could face charges himself, claims Willis is "prosecuting for profit" and supports efforts to punish or remove "rogue" prosecutors. Willis, in turn, has been disqualified from investigating Jones due to a conflict of interest, and the nonpartisan Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia is now handling the investigation into him.
