Judge McAfee dismisses the Georgia election case

Twelve days after taking over, Skandalakis moved to drop all charges, and Judge Scott McAfee signed a one-paragraph order dismissing the case against Trump and the 14 remaining co-defendants. Skandalakis argued the conduct belonged in federal court and that no court could compel a sitting president to a Georgia trial before 2029, ending the last criminal case tied to Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 result.
