Georgia Supreme Court to Dismiss Fani Willis's Case, Ending Last Prosecution Against President-elect Trump

Nov 29, 2024, 09:43 PM

The Georgia Supreme Court is preparing to dismiss District Attorney Fani Willis's case against President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office, according to sources cited by the New York Post. A source close to Willis reportedly stated that the case is "on the verge of dismissal" and expressed surprise if it were not dismissed, saying, "I would be shocked if it wasn't." The potential dismissal of the RICO case—which alleges interference in Georgia's 2020 election results—would mark the end of the last remaining active prosecution against Trump. Meanwhile, Trump's legal team plans to file a dismissal motion by December 2, 2024, which could further influence the case's outcome. Previously, two federal criminal prosecutions against Trump were dismissed without prejudice by Special Counsel Jack Smith, allowing for the possibility of charges being refiled after Trump leaves office in 2029.
