On Thursday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dropped two criminal charges against President Trump in District Attorney Fani Willis’s RICO case.
Back in August 2023, Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, indicted Trump and 18 co-defendants for challenging the 2020 election results.
The recent ruling by Judge McAfee dismissed two charges related to conspiracy and filing false documents, stating that these counts fall outside of Willis’s jurisdiction, as she is a local District Attorney and not a federal prosecutor.
This brings the total number of charges dropped against Trump to five out of the original 13.
Judge McAfee had already dismissed three charges earlier in the year.
In March, McAfee quashed six counts from the indictment, including three directly involving Trump, according to reports from the Associated Press.
The dismissed charges were connected to the alleged solicitation of officials to violate their oaths of office, including two charges stemming from Trump’s January 2, 2021, phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
CBS News confirmed that the Georgia judge dismissed two counts Thursday in Trump’s election interference case, ruling they belonged under federal, not local, jurisdiction.
Trump now faces eight remaining charges out of the original 13, with his legal team celebrating the recent dismissals, stating, “President Trump and his legal team in Georgia have prevailed once again.”
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who filed the charges against Trump, declined to comment.
A hearing to disqualify Willis from the case is scheduled for December 5, 2024, pushing the RICO case beyond the 2024 election.
Originally, this hearing was set for October 4 but has now been delayed.
This ensures the case won’t conclude until after the election.
McAfee, at least he’s showing some effort to dissmiss 5 charges against President Trump.
I’ll bet Fani Willis is pissed off for her part in trying to take down President Trump under false accusations.
Michael, heck yea! Hey if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s got to be a duck; and all I’ve heard from that Willis is lots of quacking! Not just doctors can be quacks!
It’s a sad time in America, when our country is parted. The Republicans, want peace in America. The Democrats want money in their own pockets, as they bring millions of illegals over to rob, rape, and murder our legal citizens. Also, raising taxes so high we can’t afford to get by. Trump / Vance 2024 🙏❤️🙏 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Going after ONE Man for over Eight Year’s, one thing after another ignoring the Treason being committed by the present Government..
Ignoring the Fact that Biden himself had Classified Documents as a V. President ..
Executive Order to Open the Border.
Allowing Illegals into Our Country without Enforcing Our Immigration Law’s.
Aiding in Funding of Food,Medical and Housing and Transportation..
OVER $150 Billion Funding of Illegals Yearly and where is that money coming from ??
Is it added to Our National Debt ??
Congress has Not Voted on any Funding nor have they Voted on counseling Illegals prior to them crossing Our Border and applying for Amnesty for Fear of harm from the Countries that they came from..
Failing to Protect American Citizen’s against Criminal’s from many different Countries..
American’s are now put in Harms way of all the Millions of Illegal’s..
