US Court Dismisses Six Criminal Charges Of Georgia Election Racketeering Brought Against Trump

While dismissing the charges against Trump and other defendants, the court said the prosecutors' allegations that they tried to get officials to violate their oaths were not detailed enough, according to the court filing.

AFulton County Judge Scott McAfee on Wednesday dismissed six criminal counts brought against former U.S. President Donald Trump in relation to the Georgia election subversion trial.

While dismissing the charges against Trump and other defendants, the court said the prosecutors' allegations that they tried to get officials to violate their oaths were not detailed enough, according to the court filing.

According to Reuters, the judge left 35 other criminal counts intact, including 10 against Trump, who is the Republican candidate challenging Democratic President Joe Biden in the November 5 U.S. election. The central racketeering charge against Trump and his remaining 14 co-defendants remains in place.

Trump and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to charges that they formed a criminal conspiracy to seek to overturn Trump's loss to Biden in Georgia in the 2020 election.

McAfee said prosecutors could seek a new, more detailed indictment on the dismissed counts.

The Georgia case is one of four criminal prosecutions Trump is facing as he tries to unseat Biden. He also faces federal charges for his efforts to undo his election defeat and is due to stand trial in New York beginning later this month on charges related to hush money paid to a porn star.

Trump has denied wrongdoing in all four cases and has said they are all attempts to stop him from regaining the presidency.

Steve Sadow, Trump's lead lawyer in the Georgia case, said prosecutors "failed to make specific allegations of any alleged wrongdoing" in the counts that were dismissed.

"The entire prosecution of President Trump is political, constitutes election interference, and should be dismissed," Sadow said in a statement.

A spokesperson for the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who brought the case, said prosecutors are reviewing the ruling and declined further comment.

Lawyers for Trump and five allies, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, challenged allegations that they attempted to get Georgia lawmakers to violate their oaths of office by convincing them to appoint fraudulent slates of pro-Trump electors.

Two of the six charges McAfee dismissed relate to a January 2021 phone call when Trump pressed Georgia's top election official, Brad Raffensperger, to "find" votes to reverse his defeat in the state.

The indictment did not specify in sufficient detail how Trump and his co-defendants could have urged officials to violate their oaths of office or their respective duties under the U.S. or Georgia state constitutions, McAfee found.

"They do not give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways," the judge wrote in his ruling.

This is was very poor move, it will worsen the situation not improve it. Military might does not solve this, sound economic policies does, cost of doing business does, improved customer welfare does, price control does. Speculators are not using physical structures to determine prices

I'm more concerned about what netanyahu said yesterday that Israel will not leave Gaza after the war.

More land-grabbing under whatever guise is completely unacceptable, Israel should withdraw its troops immediately after the war and allow Palestinians to return to their land.


I salute South Africans for their bluntness and for being the only country in Africa that isn't afraid of Israel, we have more sane people in that country

Nairaland / General / UK And Finland Pause Funding To Key UN Agency by prizeless(m): 6:59pm On Jan 27
The US and a growing list of other nations are pausing funding to the main UN agency in Gaza over allegations members of its staff were involved in the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. The agency — UNRWA — has fired employees over the claims.
Israel will seek to ensure the UNRWA does not operate in Gaza after the war, its foreign minister said Saturday. Israel's relations with the UN have frayed during the conflict.
Meanwhile, conditions are deteriorating at hospitals in the south of the enclave, where supplies are dwindling and an aid group claims it is besieged by Israeli forces.
Houthi rebels struck another commercial ship off the coast of Yemen on Friday. The Iran-backed group says its attacks on global shipping — which have provoked several rounds of strikes by the US and UK — are meant to pressure Israel to stop its war in Gaza.
