On Wednesday, President Trump\u2019s criminal prosecution in Georgia came to an abrupt end when the prosecutor who took over the case announced he would not move forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of Georgia\u2019s Prosecuting Attorneys\u2019 Council who took over Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis\u2019s 2020 election subversion case against Trump and several allies, filed a motion indicating to the judge that he is declining to prosecute them further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The political persecution of President Trump by disqualified DA Fani Willis is finally over. This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare,” Trump’s lead Georgia defense counsel Steve Sadow said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hill reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is on life support and the decision what to do with it falls on me and me alone,\u201d Skandalakis wrote in a 22-page memo<\/a> submitted to the court Wednesday. \u201cBut unlike family members who must make the emotional decision to withdraw loved ones from life-sustaining treatment, I have no emotional connection to this case.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs a former elected official who ran as both a Democrat and a Republican and now is the Executive Director of a non-partisan agency, this decision is not guided by a desire to advance an agenda but is based on my beliefs and understanding of the law,\u201d he continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
