Georgia dismisses Trump election case, ending his last criminal prosecution

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) The Fulton County judge overseeing the 2020 election interference case against President Donald Trump and more than a dozen others agreed to kill the probe on Wednesday after a Georgia prosecutor said the alleged criminal conduct amounted to more of a federal, not state, case.

In a brief, one-page order, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed the sprawling racketeering case first brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis more than two years ago. “This case is hereby dismissed in its entirety,” the judge wrote.

Once seen as among the most promising criminal prosecutions of Trump, the case collapsed amid scrutiny of Willis’ romantic and financial ties to the special prosecutor she hired to help lead it.

While the development isn’t a surprise, it places a capstone on the last criminal prosecution of Trump and one of the most sweeping, divisive cases in Georgia history.
