GA: Judge drops two more charges in disgraced former president’s election case

Source: The Hill

“A Georgia judge has again dropped multiple charges in former President Trump’s 2020 election interference case on Thursday, two of which Trump himself faced marking yet another legal win for the 2024 GOP nominee. Judge Scott McAfee granted a motion from some of Trump’s co-defendants to quash three counts in the sprawling racketeering indictment brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D), finding they ‘lie beyond this State’s jurisdiction.’ The ruling also hands the former president a sizeable victory, as he faced two of the charges in question. … The former president and a slew of his allies are accused of attempting to subvert Georgia’s election results to keep Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 presidential election. Trump has pleaded not guilty. Trump now faces eight total counts after originally being charged with 13.” (09/12/24)
