Overview
- New Kent Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Renick asked to step aside citing a potential conflict, and a judge appointed James City County prosecutor Nathan R. Green to take over.
- Green then removed himself as well, leaving the case with no assigned prosecutor as the inquiry remains open.
- Court records show Jones submitted certificates for 500 hours with the NAACP and 500 hours with Meet Our Moment, which is his political action committee.
- Renick’s office says court-ordered service is expected to be unpaid work for a nonpolitical charitable nonprofit, raising questions about whether PAC-related activity qualifies.
- Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares renewed calls for Jones to withdraw, while Jones has said he was held accountable for the 2022 case and is staying in the race.
