"Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, took over the case last month from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who was removed over an appearance of impropriety created by a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she chose to lead the case. After Skandalakis' filing, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued a one-paragraph order dismissing the case in its entirety."
"But 14 other defendants still faced charges, including former New York mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Steve Sadow, Trump's lead attorney in Georgia, applauded the case's dismissal: The political persecution of President Trump by disqualified DA Fani Willis is finally over. This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare."
Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, filed that he would not pursue the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee then dismissed the case in its entirety. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed over an appearance of impropriety tied to a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she appointed. Fourteen other defendants still faced charges, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows. Skandalakis said several prosecutors declined the case, appointed himself to avoid immediate dismissal, and noted Willis' office delivered 101 boxes and an eight-terabyte hard drive for review. Trump's lead Georgia attorney praised the dismissal and officials observed prosecution likely could not proceed while Trump remained president.
