A Georgia judge ended the sprawling 2020 election interference
case against President Donald Trump and his co-defendants after the
prosecutor who took it over said he was dropping the charges.
The decision from Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee came shortly after Prosecutor Peter Skandalakis notified the judge he would not proceed with the charges. Skandalakis took over the case earlier this month after the original prosecutor,
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, was disqualified.
"In my professional opinion, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years," Skandalakis wrote, saying he was ending the case "to serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality."
