Trump judge throws out six charges in Georgia election interference case: Live

On Wednesday, Judge Scott McAfee of the Fulton County Superior Court ruled that six of the charges, three of which apply to the former president, should be “quashed.”

Those counts are numbers two, five, six, 23, 28 and 38. These all fall under “solicitation of violation of oath of office”.

Judge McAfee said that while the state alleged “an abundance” of sufficient conduct, they failed to include enough detail to allow defendants to prepare, like failing to detail the nature of the commission.

Only three of those – five, 28 and 38 – apply to the former president. The other apply to co-defendants Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Ray Smith or Robert Cheeley.

Judge McAfee said the state could seek a reindictment to supplement the six counts.
