Judge Tosses Some Charges Against Donald Trump In Georgia Election Case


Scott McAfee tossed out charges related to efforts to compel public officials to violate their oaths.

Trump was charged in three of the counts, tied to his efforts to convince Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. McAfee wrote that the six counts dismissed “contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of the commission, i.e. the underlying felony solicited.” The judge is currently considering whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade should be removed from the case after they disclosed a personal romantic relationship.
