Georgia Judge Drops Six Charges Against Trump in Election Case
March 13, 2024A Georgia judge has dismissed six charges against Donald Trump and co-defendants concerning the alleged election interference in 2020.
The dismissal was based on insufficient details regarding the pressure to alter election results.
Trump celebrates a partial legal victory amidst his campaign for a White House return.
The larger case continues with 35 counts, including a significant racketeering charge, still pending.
A pending decision on the potential disqualification of the prosecutor may further affect the case.
