The Republican was charged in August 2023 for attempting to alter the election results in Georgia, which he lost by less than 12,000 votes to Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

The Republican was charged with 13 crimes, including conspiracy to impersonate an official, pressuring an official to betray his oath of office, and falsifying documents and conspiring to commit forgery in a “criminal association.”
Skandalakis took over the case last month after receiving it from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who was fired after a romantic relationship with a subordinate who participated in the process was revealed.
The truth is that after the accusation and , the case had been stranded in court. And no great advances were expected now that the New York magnate has returned to the White House. In addition, , and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who could still be prosecuted. Your case is also archived. Also included is Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Ministry official who was involved in attempts to manipulate the voting results. Lawyers John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, authors of a scheme to use fake electors to vote for Trump, have also been exonerated, as has their campaign advisor Mike Roman.
Steve Sadow, Trump’s top lawyer in Georgia, applauded the dismissal of the case. “The political persecution of President Trump by ousted prosecutor Fani Willis is finally over. This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this legal war,” according to AP.
