Georgia's lieutenant governor could be next to be indicted for effort to overturn election: report

The Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia is considering whether to charge Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in regards to the effort by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election's results, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Prosecutors say Jones is one of the 30 co-conspirators not charged in a Fulton County indictment that was handed down on Monday.

Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia executive director Pete Skandalakis says he will soon appoint a special prosecutor to look into Jones' case.

"Jones, a state senator at the time, played a prominent role as Republicans in the General Assembly considered rejecting Georgia’s official presidential electors and appointing a slate of Trump electors instead," AJC's report stated.

"Jones and a handful of other senators pressed for a special legislative session to consider appointing the Trump electors, supported lawsuits that sought to void the results and pressed Vice President Mike Pence to reject the official results when Congress met to certify Biden’s victory."
