WASHINGTON: A US judge on Wednesday ended the long-running case accusing Donald Trump and his allies of trying to overturn the 2020 election — bringing the curtain down on the final criminal prosecution still shadowing the president’s return to power.
The ruling followed a forceful push from prosecutor Pete Skandalakis, who urged Judge Scott McAfee to shut the Georgia case down, arguing it belonged in federal hands, not state courts. With that, the only remaining legal front in the sprawling battle over Trump’s post-election conduct fell away.
