Fani Willis’ Case Against Trump Is Officially Over

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against President Donald Trump has officially come to an end.

Judge Scott McAfee agreed to dismiss the racketeering case on Wednesday after the prosecutor who inherited Willis’ troubled effort urged him to take it off “life support.”

“The political persecution of President Trump by disqualified DA Fani Willis is finally over,” Trump’s lead Georgia defense counsel Steve Sadow said in a statement. “This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare.”

Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia (PACGA) Executive Director Peter Skanadlakis, who was tasked with finding Willis’ replacement after she was disqualified from prosecuting the case, took over on Nov. 14 after failing to find another attorney willing to do it.

“As a former elected official who ran as both a Democrat and a Republican and now is the Executive Director of a non-partisan agency, this decision is not guided by a desire to advance an agenda but is based on my beliefs and understanding of the law,” Skanadlakis wrote Wednesday.
