Judge Drops Two Criminal Counts Against Trump In Georgia Election Case
[FORBES] Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled state prosecutors lacked the authority to bring one count of filing false documents and one count of conspiring to file false documents against Trump, CNN...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... reported. Trump's initial 13 charges have now been reduced to eight, which include his racketeering charge, conspiring to impersonate a public officer and conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree. The election interference case has been slowed by an appeal from Trump and co-defendants challenging Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' role as the leading prosecutor in the case. Trump lawyer Steve Sadow in a tweet characterized the dropped charges as a win for Trump and his legal team.
