McAfee directed prosecutors to drop charges 14, 15 and 27 from the case, which consist of conspiracy and criminal attempt to file false documents and filing false documents.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Friday ordered prosecutors to drop three charges from the overarching Georgia 2020 election interference case, which targets President Donald Trump and some of his biggest allies.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' indicted Trump and 18 co-defendants in 2023 over their efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Willis and her office were dropped from the case last month over a “significant appearance of impropriety” stemming from her romantic relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who worked on the case, but another prosecutor was selected Friday to replace her.
McAfee directed Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council Executive Director Peter Skandalakis, who is taking over the case, to drop charges 14, 15 and 27 from the case, which consist of conspiracy and criminal attempt to file false documents and filing false documents, CBS News reported.
Trump himself has been charged with counts 15 and 27, but there are still a total of 32 charges remaining against the defendants, including racketeering.
McAfee said the challenges to the other charges, which were part of a challenge to the indictment through the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause, were denied.

So the trial is still on, minus Fani.
When will they be choosing the jury?
Kemp gonna pardon everyone?
Does Trump get discovery? Any talk of what he may dig up, regarding the stolen election?
This is going to backfire badly on the Democrats
These people in Fulton county are corrupt morons who seem to fail to grasp the reality that now that Trump is President, rehashing the 2020 election that they stole is not wise
Fulton County was a ground zero for the Democrats election steal and these low functioning morons are just to dumb to execute a proper conspiracy
