US EditionNew Georgia prosecutor drops election interference case against Trump and allies
- In a Wednesday motion, Pete Skandalakis, executive director of The Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, filed a Nolle prosequi to dismiss the case against President Donald Trump ahead of a Dec. 1, 2025 hearing.
- Facing appeals and a high court refusal to hear them, attorneys turned the case over to Skandalakis, who said he appointed himself after failing to find another conflict-free prosecutor.
- Skandalakis argued legal and practical obstacles existed, citing multiyear delays, acts outside Georgia, and questions of presidential immunity, adding that pursuing the case for five to ten years would not serve Georgia's interests.
- A Fulton County judge will decide whether to accept the dismissal motion, which if granted would end the prosecution in Fulton County.
- With co-defendants having pleaded and some agreeing to testify, the charges trace to Trump’s Jan. 2, 2021 phone call, and a Nov. 10, 2025 pardon of alternate electors affects testimony prospects.
