More Good News For Trump As Georgia Court Throws Out Six Charges

A day after he locked up the minimum number of delegates to win the Republican Party presidential ticket, Donald Trump has received more good news following the decision of the judge overseeing an election interference case in Georgia threw out  six of the criminal charges.

However, many of the cases remain in place.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee dismissed key counts relating to soliciting an elected official to violate their oath of office.

But the judge said the charges can still be refiled at a later date.

Mr Trump was among 19 people charged with a conspiracy to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

“The lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal,” Judge McAfee wrote in his order on Wednesday.

He said the charges do not provide the accused with enough information to prepare their legal defences “intelligently”, adding that “this does not mean the entire indictment is dismissed”.

The ruling affects three of the 13 charges against Mr Trump.

They relate to a call Mr Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he told him: “All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have.”

The other dismissed charges apply to some of his most prominent co-defendants: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman and Mark Meadows.
