ATLANTA, Georgia — President Donald Trump’s criminal prosecution in Georgia over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election effectively came to an end Wednesday, after the prosecutor now overseeing the case announced he will not move forward. Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Georgia Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council, informed the court that he is declining to pursue charges originally brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Skandalakis, who assumed control of the case after Willis was removed from overseeing it, submitted a 22-page memo stating the prosecution was “on life support” and that the decision to end it rested solely with him. He emphasized that his choice was not political, noting he previously ran for office as both a Democrat and a Republican and now leads what he described as a nonpartisan state agency. Willis’s sweeping indictment, filed in 2023, accused Trump and several allies of participating in a racketeering scheme to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. The case stalled following a series of legal challenges and Willis’s removal earlier this year. Skandalakis wrote that, based on his review of the law and evidence, he would not continue efforts to prosecute the remaining defendants. The decision abruptly halts one of four major criminal cases Trump had faced since leaving office. It remains unclear whether federal or state officials could attempt to revive aspects of the case through other avenues, though Skandalakis’s filing effectively closes Georgia’s prosecution.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A conservative federal appeals court has unanimously upheld nearly $1 million in sanctions against President Donald Trump and former attorney Alina Habba for filing what judges called a “frivolous” lawsuit targeting Hillary Clinton and other political opponents. The ruling, issued Wednesday by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, marks Trump’s second defeat before the court in recent days, following its refusal to revive his defamation lawsuit against CNN. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The panel — composed of Chief Judge William Pryor Jr., Trump-appointee Andrew Brasher, and Biden-appointee Embry Kidd — found that the district court “did not abuse its discretion” when it sanctioned Trump and Habba for bringing legal claims that judges described as deficient and politically charged. U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks previously dismissed the 2022 lawsuit, calling it a “two-hundred-page political manifesto” that “should never have been filed.” Middlebrooks later ordered Trump, Habba, and her law firm to pay $937,989 for pursuing litigation he said was brought in bad faith. Pryor’s opinion on Wednesday upheld those findings in full. Trump’s legal team responded by saying the president would “continue to pursue this matter to its just and rightful conclusion,” signaling the fight may continue. Habba, appointed by Trump as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey after his reelection, was separately ruled by a federal judge to have served without legal authority, a finding the Justice Department is contesting. The original lawsuit accused Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, and others of conspiring to damage Trump during the 2016 election by promoting allegations of Russian collusion.
