Georgia prosecutor confirms final criminal case against Trump is over'

"The case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia ended on Wednesday with a filing for dismissal by the state prosecutor who took over after the removal of Fani Willis, the Fulton county district attorney. Pete Skandalakis, the prosecutor and the executive director of the prosecuting attorneys' council of Georgia, confirmed to the Guardian that it's overafter superior court judge Scott McAfee issued a one page order on Wednesday dismissing the 2020 racketeering case."

"This case should have never been brought in the first place We have to hold responsible those who attempted to destroy our Legal System and Nation itself as they tried to use it to silence and imprison Political Opponents for protecting our Country, and exercising our FIRST AMENDMENT Rights. The few remaining Democrat Witch Hunts will soon meet the same embarrassing end."

"A grand jury in Atlanta indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023, using the state's anti-racketeering law to accuse them of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally overturn Trump's narrow 2020 loss to Joe Biden in Georgia. The dismissal means that Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger no longer faces prosecution after Trump's call in which he asked the state's top election official to find 11,780 votes and overturn the US election results in Georgia."

Pete Skandalakis, the state prosecutor who succeeded Fani Willis, filed to dismiss the Georgia racketeering case against Donald Trump and co-defendants, and Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued a one-page order dismissing the 2020 racketeering case. Skandalakis declined further comment. Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow described the dismissal as an end to political persecution. Trump posted on Truth Social saying the case should never have been brought and alleging attempts to destroy the legal system and silence political opponents. A grand jury had indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023 under Georgia’s anti-racketeering law. The dismissal removes the prosecution threat to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger tied to Trump's phone call.
