Judge dismisses some charges against Trump in Georgia election interference case

Donald J Trump. Now the first former president with *** mug shot snapped by the Fulton County sheriff's office as Trump was booked Thursday evening, charged with 13 felony counts. What has taken place here is *** travesty of justice. We did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong and everybody knows it. This is the former president's four indictment in five months. This one centers on alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia and keep Trump in office. 18 others have also been charged in the case including Trump's attorneys, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, as well as former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Trump supporters gathered outside the Fulton County jail earlier in the day directing their anger at district attorney Fani Willis who led the probe but now the former president leaves Georgia with *** booking number and *** $200,000 bond. His bail order sets rules for his release like barring him from making direct or indirect threats against various parties involved in the case including through posts on social media. The question. Now what happens if Trump violates the order, failure to file to follow pretrial release conditions can result in some period of stay in custody, pretrial. I don't know that that's what Judge mcafee would do to any of the defendants in this particular case. But it is certainly an option.

The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case on Wednesday dismissed some of the charges against former President Donald Trump, but many other counts in the indictment remain.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.

It’s the first time charges in any of Trump's four criminal cases have been dismissed, with the judge saying prosecutors failed to provide enough detail about the alleged crime.The six charges in question have to do with soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office.

ATLANTA —

The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case on Wednesday dismissed some of the charges against former President Donald Trump, but many other counts in the indictment remain.

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. But the order leaves intact other charges, and the judge wrote that prosecutors could seek a new indictment on the charges he dismissed.

The ruling is a blow for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, whose case has already been on shaky ground with an effort to have her removed from the prosecution over her romantic relationship with a colleague. It’s the first time charges in any of Trump's four criminal cases have been dismissed, with the judge saying prosecutors failed to provide enough detail about the alleged crime.

The six charges in question have to do with soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. That includes two charges related to the phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, on Jan. 2, 2021.

“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,” Trump said during that call.

The case accuses Trump and 18 others of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state to Democrat Joe Biden.
