Special Prosecutor Appoints Himself to Replace Fani Willis on Trump Case After ‘Inability’ to Find Anyone ElseOlivia Rondeau 14 Nov 2025
The man tasked with finding a replacement for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) on the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump was forced to appoint himself as special prosecutor, citing an “inability” to find anyone else to accept the job.
Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council (PAC) executive director, Peter Skandalakis, announced that he would take over the case on Friday, which was the deadline for the council to either pick a new prosecutor or potentially see the case be dismissed, the Hill reported.
“Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment,” Skandalakis said in a statement obtained by the outlet. “Out of respect for their privacy and professional discretion, I will not identify those prosecutors or disclose their reasons for declining.”
Acknowledging that it “would have been simple” to just allow the deadline to pass since no one wanted to prosecute the case, he said he did “not believe that was the right course of action.”
“My only objective is to ensure that this case is handled properly, fairly, and with full transparency discharging my duties without fear, favor, or affection,” he stated.
