Judge Dismisses Some Charges in Trump's Georgia Election Subversion Case

A judge in Donald Trump's Georgia election subversion trial dismissed three criminal counts against him and three against co-defendants, while letting the overall case proceed. The judge found that the allegations by state prosecutors were not detailed enough to sustain those counts but left 35 other criminal counts intact, including a central racketeering charge. Trump and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to charges of forming a criminal conspiracy to overturn his loss to Biden in Georgia. The judge said prosecutors could seek a new, more detailed indictment on the dismissed counts, and a decision is pending on whether the prosecutor overseeing the case should be disqualified over a romantic relationship with a lawyer she hired to run the prosecution.
