In a major win for President Donald Trump that is a long time coming, the prosecutor who took over the 2020 election interference case against President Trump after Fani Willis was disqualified decided to drop the charges. The judge quickly granted the dismissal, meaning they were thrown out and the case is now over.
As background, Fani Willis is the Fulton County DA, and she brought the case against President Trump and over a dozen of his close allies and advisors over their attempts to push Georgia to Trump during the messy aftermath of the 2020 election. Many in MAGA saw her charges as a witch hunt against the president.
However, Willis was found to be sleeping with one of the prosecuting attorneys, Nathan Wade, and the two were found to have abused their public positions for personal benefits, with Willis funneling money to Wade that they used for vacations and like spending. She was then removed from the case because of that appearance of personal interest in it.
Replacing her was Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, who took over the case after she was dismissed. He requested that the charges be dropped, saying, “In my professional judgment, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years.”
The judge quickly granted that motion to dismiss the charges and dropped the case. Doing so, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee reportedly wrote, “This case is hereby dismissed in its entirety.” The case is, as a result, now over.
President Trump quickly took to Truth Social to celebrate. Beginning his post on the matter, he said, “BREAKING NEWS! LAW and JUSTICE have prevailed in the Great State of Georgia, as the corrupt Fani Willis Witch Hunt against me, and other Great American Patriots, has been DISMISSED in its entirety.”
Continuing, he skewered Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, saying, “This Illegal, Unconstitutional, and unAmerican Hoax was perpetrated against our Nation by Fani and her Low I.Q. Lover, Nathan Wade, at the direction of Crooked Joe Biden and his “Handlers.” This case should have never been brought in the first place. The Radical and Unethical District Attorney illegally hired her boyfriend to “prosecute the Former President of the United States of America” in a charade, even though he had never prosecuted such a case before, was completely inexperienced in RICO, and blatantly lied about everything, including their “beautiful” love affair, the ridiculously high amounts of money she paid him (unlawfully taking it from the honest Taxpayers of Georgia), their record setting numbers of Caribbean cruises, vacations, and getaways, her clear Campaign Finance Violations and, most importantly, their obsession with doing anything and everything to “GET TRUMP,” just as the Biden White House told them to do.”

Continuing, he hammered the Democrats as well, saying, “The Deranged Democrats did all they could to viciously attack me, my supporters, and our MAGA Movement, for telling the TRUTH — THE 2020 ELECTION WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN, and they committed Crime after Crime as they weaponized our Law Enforcement and Justice System against HONEST AND LOVING Americans but, we have fought back and won both in the Courts and Politically with our Historic, Country saving, Landslide Victory of November 5, 2024.”
Concluding, he wrote, “We have to hold responsible those who attempted to destroy our Legal System and Nation itself as they tried to use it to silence and imprison Political Opponents for protecting our Country, and exercising our FIRST AMENDMENT Rights. The few remaining Democrat Witch Hunts will soon meet the same embarrassing end. We are going to keep winning, and continue to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
