Georgia Indictment Against Trump Dismissed

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – The special prosecutor overseeing President Donald Trump‘s Georgia indictment has decided to drop the case.

On wednesday,Pete Skandalakis,executive director of The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia,filed a motion in Fulton County Superior Court requesting the charges against Trump and his allies be dismissed.

Skandalakis filed a Nolle prosequi motion – a Latin term meaning “to be unwilling to prosecute.” It’s a formal request to drop criminal charges.

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the case, granted the motion, dismissing the case entirely shortly after it was filed.

Skandalakis took over the prosecution after Fulton County DA Fani Willis was disqualified due to an “appearance of impropriety” stemming from a romantic relationship wiht special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

“The political persecution of President Trump by disqualified DA Fani Willis is finally over,” stated Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead Georgia attorney. “This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecution was unfeasible.”
