Justice..

 

President Donald Trump and co-defendants have had a Georgia racketeering case dropped after Peter Skandalakis, the executive Director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, moved to discontinue it. Skandalakis said the decision was made to “serve the interests of justice,” noting the case will not proceed in Fulton County.

The dismissal effectively shuts down the only remaining state-level prosecution tied to Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

With Judge McAfee dismissing the case outright, Georgia’s role in the post-election legal battles comes to an end.  

Skandalakis noted that pursuing the case would take years, and separating Trump from other defendants would be impractical and costly.

Skandalakis  wrote, “In my professional judgment, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years.”
