A Georgia prosecutor has officially dropped the high-profile racketeering case against President Donald Trump and 18 others, ending a legal battle over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The decision follows the dismissal of federal cases related to election interference and classified documents. Prosecutor Peter Skandalakis cited the complexity and potential length of the proceedings, stating that pursuing the case for another decade would be illogical and burdensome. He emphasized that the citizens of Georgia would not benefit from continuing the prosecution and reaffirmed the validity of the 2020 election results. The case, which began in August 2023, lost momentum after legal challenges and Trump's victory in the 2024 election. Trump celebrated the dismissal, calling the case a hoax and predicting similar outcomes for other investigations.
