A Georgia judge has dismissed two counts of conspiracy against Donald Trump in the case accusing him of interfering in the state’s 2020 election results.
Judge Scott McAfee Thursday ruled that two of the 13 counts the former president and the 2024 Republican nominee faces must be dismissed because they relate to alleged federal crimes that are outside the state’s power.
The charges of conspiracy to commit filing false documents and conspiracy to commit forgery – or counts 15 and 17 – were tossed out.
One of the dismissed charges accused Trump and others of trying to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the Peach State by attempting to file a forged “Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Georgia” making it look like Trump actually won.
The other nixed charge accused Trump and his co-defendants of making false statements and filing false documents to get Georgia lawmakers to “reject lawful” votes.
The case has been in limbo while Trump’s lawyers ask a state appeal court to boot Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case because of her admitted affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was later ousted from the case.

The article is goofy as the main charge is still in place as before...these two lesser charges are throw aways.
McAfee previously dismissed six charges in the racketeering indictment, including three against Trump, after ruling state prosecutors did not allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of the violations.
Fanny is still pressing this case? Isn’t she still being checked for deposing Nathan?
