BREAKING: Georgia Prosecutor to Abandon Election Interference Case Against Trump

Georgia’s long-running election interference case against President Donald J. Trump collapsed on Wednesday after a top state prosecutor formally asked the court to dismiss all remaining charges — marking the end of Democrats’ final legal offensive against the President.

The request came from Peter Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, whose office had been assigned to review the Fulton County prosecution years after the indictments were first rolled out with great fanfare by Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Skandalakis began his review on Nov. 14, focusing on the politically charged racketeering allegations Willis lodged against Trump and several of his attorneys.

In a sweeping 23-page filing, Skandalakis concluded that prosecutors could not support the central claims of the case, writing that he could not find sufficient evidence for the state’s RICO charges. He further acknowledged the obvious constitutional reality that there was “no realistic prospect that a sitting President will be compelled to appear” in state proceedings.

Crucially, the motion underscored a fundamental principle that had long undercut the indictment: it is not a crime to contest election results. Skandalakis made clear his assessment rested on “the reality that it is not illegal to question or challenge election results.”

The original Fulton County case accused Trump and 18 others of operating a criminal enterprise to overturn the 2020 election — claims that rested almost entirely on lawful legal challenges, public statements, and constitutionally protected political advocacy. All defendants pleaded not guilty, though four eventually took plea deals to lesser conduct.

Fani Willis initially oversaw the prosecution before being removed late last year following explosive revelations that she had engaged in a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the outside attorney she hired to spearhead the case. Trump’s legal team successfully argued that Willis created an inexcusable financial conflict of interest by approving payments to Wade while personally benefiting from the relationship.

With Wednesday’s filing, the Georgia RICO prosecution — once touted as Democrats’ most ambitious case against Trump — has now officially collapsed. It marks the final remaining case brought against the President after he left office at the end of his first term, closing a years-long era of partisan legal warfare waged by Democrat prosecutors across the country.
