Felony Charges Dismissed Against Virginia Elections Official

Michele White, accused of 2020 election misconduct, still faces a misdemeanor charge after a key witness's testimony changed, causing inconsistencies in the case.

• Virginia Judge dismisses felony charges against former Prince William County Registrar Michele White, accused of misconduct in the 2020 election.
• Charges were dismissed after a key witness reportedly changed their story, leading to 'significant inconsistent statements' according to Assistant Attorney General James Herring.
• White still faces trial next month on a misdemeanor charge of willful neglect of duty.
• The case was brought by Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares, who launched an election integrity unit shortly after obtaining the indictment against White.
• White's lawyer, Zachary Stafford, claims the witness's updated testimony filled in a gap in the initial investigation, and that it was a 'poor choice of words' for prosecutors to refer to the updated testimony as 'convenient.'
