Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed six counts in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump earlier today. With six counts of the criminal counts dismissed, there are 35 counts remaining.
Trump lawyer Steve Sadow stated prosecutors “failed to make specific allegations of any alleged wrongdoing…. The entire prosecution of President Trump is political, constitutes election interference, and should be dismissed.”
McAfee found the prosecution lacked information, stating, “They do not give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways.”
The ruling by McAfee comes before he is expected to issue a decision on whether to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis due to an alleged romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Willis stated the relationship does not create a conflict of interest, and stated she is no longer in a romantic relationship with Wade.
