From Fox5 Atlanta: FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – Georgia’s election interference case against President Donald Trump appears to be officially over.
The special prosecutor assigned to review the case has decided to drop all remaining charges, saying the case could not move forward for legal and practical reasons.
Peter Skandalakis, who appointed himself as prosecutor in Georgia’s election interference case, said in a court filing that continuing the prosecution would not “serve the interests of justice.” He explained that the case had been delayed for years, involved actions that happened outside Georgia, and included issues that the state courts could not resolve — including questions about presidential immunity.
The filing also notes that several parts of the case lacked enough evidence to go to trial, while others belonged in federal court rather than Georgia state court. Skandalakis said the alleged conduct stretched across multiple states and could not realistically be tried before Trump’s current presidential term ends in 2029.
The prosecutor emphasized that his decision was based on the law and the evidence — not on politics.
This is the case originally brought against Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and got Trump his infamous mugshot that ended up being a huge boost to his campaign.
The Associated Press explains that Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, took over the case last month from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who was removed over an “appearance of impropriety” created by a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she chose to lead the case.
