Judge Dismisses Georgia Criminal Case Against Donald Trump
The criminal case against Donald Trump in Georgia is officially dead.
Scott McAfee, the judge overseeing the case accusing Trump of conspiring to overturn his loss in the state in the 2020 presidential election,dismissed all remaining charges Wednesday. That move came shortly after the lead prosecutor — who took over the case earlier this month — decided he could not advance the case any further.
“There is no realistic prospect that a sitting President will be compelled to appear in Georgia to stand trial on the allegations in this indictment,” wrote Peter Skandalakis, a supervising prosecutor who assigned himself the case after failing to find another district attorney to take it over. “Donald J. Trump’s current term as President of the United States of America does not expire until January 20, 2029; by that point, eight years will have elapsed” since the alleged crimes in question.
The collapse of the Georgia case against Trump ends the last remaining criminal prosecution he faced stemming from his effort to subvert the 2020 election. Special counsel Jack Smith’s federal case against him was dismissed last year after Trump won reelection.
