Prosecutor drops 'election interference' case against Trump

SUMMARY

A Georgia prosecutor has requested to dismiss the election interference case against Donald Trump and others, stating that the citizens of Georgia are "not served by pursuing this case." The case was revived when the original prosecutor was disqualified.

Trump and 18 others had pleaded not guilty to charges relating to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. These charges included soliciting state leaders and spreading false claims. Some defendants took plea deals to testify against others. The situation remains fluid as further developments may occur.
