As we await Judge Scott McAfee’s decision on whether to disqualify Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis from her prosecution of Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, McAfee has dismissed some of the charges in the case. While this sounds like good news for Trump and his co-defendants on the surface, they aren’t necessarily out of the woods.
« Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wrote in an order that six of the counts in the indictment must be quashed, including three against Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, » reports the Associated Press. « But the order leaves intact other charges, and the judge wrote that prosecutors could seek a new indictment on the charges he dismissed. »
The charges that McAfee dismissed concern the phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger suggesting that Raffensperger could « find the votes » that would put Trump ahead of Biden in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
