Overview
- Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed the case on Nov. 26 after Pete Skandalakis filed a 23-page motion to end the prosecution.
- Skandalakis argued that constitutional questions, supremacy concerns and access to federal records would push any jury trial into 2029–2031.
- The ruling closes the last active criminal case against President Trump tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
- The dismissal applies to Trump only, with several co-defendants—including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows—still facing Georgia charges.
- The decision follows the disqualification of original prosecutor Fani Willis over an appearance of impropriety, after which the Georgia Prosecutors Council appointed Skandalakis to determine next steps.
