he judge in the election interference case against Donald Trump and several co-defendants in Georgia has thrown out three counts in the indictment — including two counts brought against the former president.
The original 41-count indictment accused Trump and several of his allies of a broad scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. Trump was listed on 13 of the counts.
Judge Scott McAfee wrote in his decision released Thursday that the counts could no longer be allowed to stand because they involved accusations of perjury or false statements under federal jurisdiction.
