Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Friday evening dropped three out of more than 30 charges in the RICO case against President Trump and 18 defendants.
In August 2023, Fani Willis indicted President Trump and 18 co-defendants for daring to challenge the 2020 election.
Last year, after a fierce court battle, Fani Willis and her entire office were disqualified from prosecuting Trump in their lawfare RICO case.
In March 2024, Judge McAfee quashed 6 counts in Fani Willis’ indictment – including 3 counts against President Trump.
Trump was charged with two out of three of the counts dropped on Friday. 32 charges remain as a new prosecutor took over the case.
Excerpt from CBS News:
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has officially dropped three charges out of dozens in Georgia’s election interference case against President Trump and others.
On Friday, McAfee ordered that Counts 14, 15, and 27, conspiracy and criminal attempt to file false documents and filing false documents, respectively, should be dismissed. Mr. Trump had been charged with two of the counts, 15 and 27.
Even with the counts removed, 32 remain, including an overarching racketeering charge brought against the remaining 15 defendants.
Earlier today, attorney Steve Sadow, who is representing Mr. Trump in Georgia, said that his legal team “remain confident that a fair and impartial review will lead to a dismissal of the case” against the president.
The judge’s decision to drop three charges comes on the same day a new prosecutor was chosen to replace Fani Willis.
Last month Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee gave prosecuting attorneys 14 days to assign a new prosecutor to Fani Willis’ lawfare RICO case or he will dismiss the case without prejudice.
On Friday, just hours before the deadline to appoint a new prosecutor, the Executive Director of Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorney’s Council entered an appearance as “District Attorney pro tempore.”
Per legal analyst Phil Holloway: Pete Skandalakis, Executive Director of Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorney’s Council has entered his appearance as “District Attorney pro tempore”
