A Georgia judge on Wednesday dismissed the state’s election interference case against President Donald Trump and others after the newly appointed prosecutor said he would not pursue the charges.
According to The Associated Press, Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, took over the sprawling case last month from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Willis was removed following concerns over an “appearance of impropriety” stemming from a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she had appointed to lead the case.
Following Skandalakis’ filing, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued a brief order dismissing the case in its entirety.
“The criminal conduct alleged in the Georgia indictment was conceived in Washington, D.C., not the State of Georgia.
