Georgia RICO Case Dismissed After Months of Turmoil
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee officially dismissed the Georgia RICO Case by granting a nolle prosequi, ending charges not only against Donald Trump but also against 14 co-defendants, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Jenna Ellis.
The case had been overshadowed by controversy involving District Attorney Fani Willis, who was removed from the prosecution following allegations that she had an improper romantic relationship with her lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

On the stand, Willis defended herself vigorously, saying:
“These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I’m not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial.”
A Case Undone by Practical Challenges and Political Pressure
Legal expert Anthony Michael Kreis noted that the case’s demise may have come down to resources rather than evidence. He argued that “finding another prosecutor’s office with enough financial and human resources to take on a case of this magnitude would be a challenge,” even though the original investigation was “methodical and thorough.”
