Though he faced an onslaught of lawfare since the end of his first term in office, Donald Trump has seen several of the high-profile cases against him fall by the wayside, abandoned by the same prosecutors who brought them.

In yet another legal win for President Trump, a judge in Georgia finalized a Georgia prosecutor’s decision not to pursue a criminal case involving allegations of interference in the 2020 presidential election results in the state, as NBC News reports.

It's over

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee declared the case, which had loomed in limbo for several years under the guidance of Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis, dismissed after it became clear that there was no interest on the part of the state to continue it.

McAfee took that action after prosecutor Pete Skandalakis indicated that he would not be pursuing charges in the matter.

Skandalakis wrote, “In my professional opinion, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years.”

He further noted that he was bringing an end to the controversy as a way “to serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality.”

Seemingly addressing those who might question the decision, Skandalakis added that the move was “not guided by a desire to advance an agenda but is based on my beliefs and understanding of the law.”

Willis disqualified

Skandalakis ended up with the unenviable task of determining the fate of the case after a series of twists and turns that followed the initial indictment of Trump by Willis back in 2023.

Willis’s ability to prosecute the case began to unravel when revelations emerged about her romantic relationship with a special prosecutor she picked to work on the matter, a scenario McAfee said created the appearance of a conflict of interest.

The Fulton County D.A. was ultimately disqualified from participation in the Trump prosecution, with the Georgia Supreme Court eventually declining to hear her appeal of the removal.

As Politico notes, that later led to Skandalakis, the head of an association representing prosecutors in Georgia, essentially having to refer the case to himself due to difficulty finding any other district attorney to accept the case.

At the time, he said, “While it would have been simple to allow Judge McAfee’s deadline to lapse or to inform the Court that no conflict prosecutor could be secured -- thereby allowing the case to be dismissed for want of prosecution -- I did not believe that to be the right course of action,” with his own review of the situation resulting in this weeks’ decision not to continue the case.

Trump takes a victory lap

The president, not surprisingly, was not shy about expressing the sense of vindication he felt at the news from Georgia, taking to Truth Social to respond.

“LAW and JUSTICE have prevailed in the Great State of Georgia, as the corrupt Fani Willis Witch Hunt against me, and other Great American Patriots, has been DISMISSED in its entirety,” he wrote, bringing a triumphant end to a long-running legal and political saga.
