• Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has delivered a major blow to District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against former President Donald Trump, dismissing three charges from the historic indictment tied to alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election according to AtlantaNewsFirst. The charges are part of the indictment brought by Willis targeting Trump and several of his allies for their efforts to contest the state’s election results following his loss to Joe Biden.
  • Thursday’s ruling dropped two criminal counts against Trump, which were integral to Willis’ case alleging a coordinated effort to overturn Georgia’s election results. Additionally, one charge against a key ally of Trump was dismissed. The decision marks a significant setback for Willis, whose sprawling indictment captured national attention due to its implications for election integrity.
  • However, Judge McAfee has permitted the majority of the case to proceed, but has now dismissed five counts from Willis’ original indictment against Trump in total. Three of these charges were previously dropped earlier this year by McAfee due to insufficient detail.
  • The charges dismissed by Judge McAfee centered on actions related to Trump’s alleged efforts to interfere with the certification of Georgia’s election results in December 2020. The charges were tied to claims that Trump and his allies had engaged in a scheme to send an alternate slate of electors to Washington, which would have falsely represented Trump as the winner of the state’s electoral votes.
