A Georgia judge has dismissed two criminal counts against former President Donald Trump in a case related to the 2020 election interference. The judge, Scott McAfee, ruled that prosecutors lacked the authority to bring charges for filing false documents. Despite the dismissal of these two counts, the case against Trump will proceed with the remaining eight charges. This decision also affected charges against some of Trump's allies, with one count being dismissed. The case continues to draw national attention as it involves allegations of election interference by a former president and current presidential candidate.
