The long-running legal saga involving Donald Trump and the Georgia RICO Case came to a dramatic end this week after a Georgia judge dismissed the sweeping election interference indictment that once targeted the former president and more than a dozen of his allies.
The ruling closes one of the most contentious criminal cases connected to the 2020 election, marking yet another legal victory for Trump as he continues to challenge remaining charges nationwide.

The dismissal followed a request from Georgia prosecutor Peter J. Skandalakis, who argued Wednesday that the state lacked sufficient evidence to sustain its racketeering allegations. In his written statement, Skandalakis emphasized a key principle: “I begin the process of evaluating this case with a basic truth: It is not illegal to question or challenge election results.”
He also highlighted the practical impossibility of compelling a sitting president to appear in a Georgia courtroom, noting that “there is no realistic prospect that a sitting President will be compelled to appear in Georgia to stand trial.”
