Georgia Court Closes Trump Election Case, Ending All U.S. Criminal Prosecutions

A judge approved a nolle prosequi that prosecutors said would serve the interests of justice and bring finality to the case.

Overview

  • Fulton County’s court granted prosecutors’ motion to discontinue the Georgia election-interference prosecution and ordered the case closed in full.
  • Acting prosecutor Peter Skandalakis sought a nolle prosequi, citing the interests of justice and the need for finality before any jury proceedings.
  • With the Georgia case closed, news reports say there are no criminal prosecutions pending against President Trump in the United States.
  • Four criminal cases were brought during President Biden’s term, with three dismissed before sentencing and one January conviction followed by an unconditional discharge.
  • The New York Times previously reported Trump intends to seek about $230 million from the Justice Department over federal probes, and a separate appeals court ruling upheld nearly $1 million in sanctions against him and Alina Habba tied to a 2022 lawsuit.
