GA Fake Elector Demands DA Recuse From His Case

Axios reports:

A Georgia Republican lawmaker who is a target of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation into the 2020 election is calling on Willis to recuse herself from his prosecution.

State Sen. Burt Jones was among a group of false electors Republicans organized after Georgia’s 2020 election to “certify” a victory for then-President Trump. Several of those false electors have received letters from Willis’s office informing them they could be indicted during the investigation.

Jones was also a leading voice calling for a special legislative session after the November 2020 election, which Georgia’s top officials rejected as unconstitutional. In a filing Friday, Jones, who is running for lieutenant governor, called the DA’s decision to target him “a blatant effort to sway the outcome of the election.”
