The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference against Trump tossed out three counts in the indictment saying that they lie beyond the state’s jurisdiction.
and others on Thursday tossed out three counts in the indictment — including two counts brought against the former president — saying that they lie beyond the state’s jurisdiction.
At issue in Thursday’s ruling are two counts having to do with the filing of a document with the federal court in Atlanta that declared that Trump had won the state of Georgia and, including Still, with filing false documents. The other charges Trump and others, including Eastman, with conspiracy to file false documents.
The third count charges Trump and Eastman with filing false documents, saying they “knowingly and unlawfully” filed a a lawsuit with the federal court in Atlanta while “having reason to know” that the document included at least one “materially false” statement about the 2020 election in Georgia. In a separate order Thursday, McAfee rejected Eastman and Still’s attempt to dismiss the broad racketeering count in the indictment. That count is supported by 161 alleged acts that defendants are accused of engaging in to accomplish a common goal of challenging Trump’s electoral loss.
