Georgia Judge Drops 2020 Election Case Against Trump. A Georgia judge has thrown out the state’s 2020 election interference case against Donald Trump, ending the final attempt to prosecute him over efforts to challenge his loss to Joe Biden - According to BBC. The move came after Peter Skandalakis — who took charge of the case once the original prosecutor, Fani Willis, was removed — asked Judge Scott McAfee to dismiss all charges. Willis had been taken off the case after an appeals court ruled her relationship with a special prosecutor created the appearance of a conflict of interest. Skandalakis said ending the case was necessary “to serve the interests of justice,” stressing that the decision was based on law, not politics. The dismissal also clears Trump’s remaining co-defendants, including Rudy Giuliani and former chief of staff Mark Meadows. The case had once been seen as Trump’s most serious legal threat, but earlier rulings, Willis’ removal and Trump’s return to the White House had already cast doubt on whether it would proceed.
