News summary

Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones will not face charges related to his involvement as a 'fake elector' for Donald Trump after the 2020 election, according to Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia. Skandalakis concluded that Jones acted within his duties as a senator and relied on legal advice, determining there was no criminal intent. The investigation into Jones was shifted to Skandalakis after a judge barred District Attorney Fani Willis from pursuing the case due to a conflict of interest. While Jones was not indicted, other 'fake electors' faced charges, and a special grand jury had recommended his indictment. Jones expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share his story and criticized Willis for her handling of the case. The decision to not charge Jones marks a significant development in the ongoing investigations surrounding the 2020 election interference in Georgia.
