Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has lost yet again, as the Georgia election interference case she originally prosecuted against President Donald Trump has been dismissed entirely.
According to court documents, a judge overseeing the case dismissed it today at the request of a new prosecutor, Pete Skandalakis.
Willis, who pursued the president intensely with prosecutorial vigor, alleging that he tried to reverse the 2020 presidential election results, has had a rough few years.
As reported by RSBN, Willis was barred from prosecuting the case against the president last year, following several missteps and even accusations of her own alleged impropriety amid her romantic involvement with the attorney she hired to go after Trump, Nathan Wade.
According to ABC, Skandalakis wrote in his petition to the judge, “In my professional judgment, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years.”
The case in Georgia not only included President Trump and procured what is now, perhaps, the most infamous mugshot in history – it also charged 18 other individuals with racketeering in a broad indictment that alleged they had worked to “overturn” the results of the 2020 election in the Peach State.
The dismissal of this Georgia case marks the third major legal challenge to the president to be dismissed so far. Before the Georgia state charges, the president triumphed when two other federal cases were previously dropped – the so-called “classified documents case” and the federal election interference case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
The president also won big this year and claimed “total victory” after a New York Appeals Court threw out a massive half-billion-dollar fraud fine in a civil fraud suit spearheaded by New York Attorney General Letitia James in 2024.
“It was a Political Witch Hunt, in a business sense, the likes of which no one has ever seen before,” the president said in August.
