Trump Case Revived

Peter J. Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, has appointed himself to take over the Donald Trump election interference case.

The case’s former prosecutor, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed from the case late last year.

A judge tasked Skandalakis to find a replacement for Willis by Nov. 14, or the case would’ve been subject to dismissal.

In 2023, a Fulton County grand jury indicted Trump, along with 18 others, for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

“As Georgia continues to lead the way in attracting innovative manufacturers, we look forward to seeing the opportunities this project will bring to the people of Suwanee and the surrounding community,” said Gov. Brian Kemp.

Colleges See Record Enrollment

Nearly all of USG’s 26 public colleges and universities saw their enrollment rise, with Kennesaw State University experiencing the largest overall headcount increase.

However, international student enrollment growth saw its smallest increase since 2020.
