Georgia Judge Dismisses More Charges Against Trump

A Georgia judge has dismissed three more counts in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his allies, citing the Supremacy Clause, which mandates that state laws yield to federal laws. Fulton Superior Judge Scott McAfee ruled that state prosecutors lacked the authority to bring charges related to filing false documents in federal court. The dismissed counts reduce the charges Trump faces from 13 to 8. The case is currently paused pending appeals regarding the potential disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis due to alleged misconduct. Despite these dismissals, the core racketeering charge against Trump and his co-defendants remains upheld.
