Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has dropped six counts from the election-interference indictment against former President Donald Trump and five co-defendants in Atlanta. However, the larger case remains unaffected

The ruling was made due to the state’s failure to provide specific enough allegations to support those charges. This decision impacts three of the 13 felony counts faced by Trump in the case. However, it does not affect the central charge of a racketeering conspiracy aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state. Several of the dismissed charges pertain to Trump’s co-defendants, such as Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows, rather than Trump himself.

The six charges under scrutiny involve allegations of soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. Among them are two charges stemming from Trump’s controversial phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, on January 2, 2021, during which Trump urged him to “find” 11,780 votes.

Trump still faces 10 separate criminal charges in the case, which he has vehemently criticized as a witch hunt since being charged and arrested.

Meanwhile, the spotlight shifts to Fani Willis, the district attorney overseeing the case, whose future hangs in the balance amidst growing speculation and calls for her disqualification. Allegations have surfaced regarding her involvement in an affair with Nathan Wade, a top prosecutor in her office. The revelation of this affair has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest and impartiality in the handling of the case

Judge Scott McAfee has said Willis’s relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade “could result” in their disqualification if evidence shows an “actual conflict of interest or the appearance of one.”
