Judge dismisses six counts in Georgia election interference case
About this episode
For this episode of Trump's Trials, NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Georgia politics reporter Sam Gringlas.
The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case has dismissed six criminal counts against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants.
Three of those counts specifically apply to Trump. They all involve alleged attempts to solicit public officials to violate their oaths of office. An example of that is the telephone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, during which Trump asked the secretary to find him 11,780 votes to overturn the election.
Trump's now facing 10 criminal counts instead of 13. Prosecutors can re-file the dropped charges but it's unclear if they will.
Topics include:
- Possible new indictment
- What comes next for the case
