Georgia Finally Assigns Prosecutor to Lt. Gov. Jones' Fake Elector Case After 2 Years, Highlighting Difficulty of Transferring High-Profile Election Interference Cases
-
A new prosecutor has finally been assigned to investigate Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the "fake elector" scheme after nearly 2 years.
-
The head of the state prosecutor panel that handles these reassignments will handle the Jones case himself.
-
This highlights the complexity of getting another office/prosecutor to take on a high-profile case like the Trump election interference case.
-
If Fani Willis is disqualified from the Trump case, it would put the entire case in doubt and be very difficult to transfer.
-
The long delay in just reassigning the Jones case shows how tough it could be to reassign the more complex Trump case with 15 defendants.
