(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump reiterated claims that the 2020 election was stolen Wednesday afternoon in reaction to the dismissal of Georgia’s election interference case.
The second-term Republican president called the case the “Fani Willis Witch Hunt” and accused Democrats of orchestrating the case in a post on Truth Social.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified from prosecuting the election interference case against Trump and others after it was revealed she had a romantic relationship with the lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade.
“This Illegal, Unconstitutional, and unAmerican Hoax was perpetrated against our Nation by Fani and her Low I.Q. Lover, Nathan Wade, at the direction of Crooked Joe Biden and his “Handlers.” This case should have never been brought in the first place,” Trump wrote.
“The Radical and Unethical District Attorney illegally hired her boyfriend to “prosecute the Former President of the United States of America” in a charade, even though he had never prosecuted such a case before, was completely inexperienced in RICO, and blatantly lied about everything, including their “beautiful” love affair, the ridiculously high amounts of money she paid him (unlawfully taking it from the honest Taxpayers of Georgia), their record setting numbers of Caribbean cruises, vacations, and getaways, her clear Campaign Finance Violations and, most importantly, their obsession with doing anything and everything to “GET TRUMP,” just as the Biden White House told them to do.”
Trump said Democrats attacked him for telling the “truth” that the 2020 election was “stolen.”
“We have to hold responsible those who attempted to destroy our Legal System and Nation itself as they tried to use it to silence and imprison Political Opponents for protecting our Country, and exercising our FIRST AMENDMENT Rights,” Trump said. “The few remaining Democrat Witch Hunts will soon meet the same embarrassing end.”
Peter Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Council of Georgia, moved to dismiss the case against Trump and others after taking over the prosecution. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee signed the order on Wednesday.
The motion said the case was dropped “to serve the interest of justice and promote judicial finality.”
“For all remaining defendants, this disposition meets the criteria for the Georgia Crime Information Center to Restrict access to the criminal history for this arrest…,” the motion said.
Skandalakis said he would have no further comments.
Richard Rose, who leads Communities United for Justice, is one of four Georgia citizens who sued to remove now Lt. Gov. Burt Jones from holding office after Jones was accused of being a part of a fake elector scheme that would have replaced former President Joe Biden’s votes with votes for Trump. He told The Center Square in a recent interview that based on that decision, he was doubtful Skandalakis will do anything with the election interference case.
“He’ll come up with some reason,” Rose said. “You should have read his rationale for not having prosecuted Burt Jones. He said he was a nice guy, he didn’t mean any harm. Just silliness.”
The lead counsel in the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump said the “case should have never been brought.”
“The political persecution of President Trump by disqualified DA Fani Willis is finally over,” Steve Sadow said in a statement. “A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare.”
Georgia Senate Minority Leader Harold Jones II, D-Augusta, called the dismissal a “setback for justice.”
“I am deeply disappointed in today’s decision, which allows President Donald Trump to evade accountability for his clear violations of Georgia law,” Jones said in a statement. “By dismissing this case, the court has enabled him and his co-conspirators to avoid responsibility for their coordinated effort to overturn Georgia’s election results and steal the 2020 election.”
