Peter Skandalakis
Peter Skandalakis is the director of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Council of Georgia and a veteran prosecutor known for his bipartisan approach to criminal justice. In 2023, he was assigned to oversee the high-profile racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and several associates regarding alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Skandalakis stepped into this role after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed due to a legal dispute over her authority, and he expressed his commitment to thoroughly review the extensive case documents before deciding on the path forward.
