ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Pete Skandalakis, the head of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, has assigned himself to take over the historic indictment of President Donald Trump and his allies who allegedly tried to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.

On Friday, Skandalakis said he has appointed himself because of “my inability to secure another conflict prosecutor to assume responsibility for this case.

“Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment,” Skandalakis said. “Out of respect for their privacy and professional discretion, I will not identify those prosecutors or disclose their reasons for declining.”
