The judge presiding over Donald Trump's Georgia election interference trial dropped six charges on Wednesday that the former president and his 14 remaining co-defendants face as he also mulls whether to remove District Attorney Fani Willis from the case.
‘s Georgia election interference trial dropped six charges on Wednesday that the former president and his 14 remaining co-defendants face as he also mulls whether to remove District AttorneySuperior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued an order dismissing “Counts 2, 5, 6, 23, 28, and 38” of the indictment but denied efforts to dismiss certain “overt acts” included in the indictment.
McAfee held that some of the allegations that defendants attempted to make Georgia officials violate their oaths of office were not detailed enough. Willis’s office will have another opportunity to seek charges on the counts that were tossed by McAfee on Wednesday for lack of sufficient detail. But if defense attorneys succeeded at convincing McAfee that those charges would not stick again, prosecutors cannot seek to bring them a third time.
McAfee’s decision comes as he prepares a separate decision on whether to remove Willis after co-defendant Mike Roman filed a motion in January alleging a conflict of interest between the district attorney and her hired special prosecutor, Nathan Wade.
