(ATLANTA) — The Fulton County judge overseeing Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case has tossed out three more counts in the indictment, two of which the former president was facing.<\/p>\n

It comes after the judge, Scott McAfee, previously threw out six counts in the indictment, three of which were against Trump.<\/p>\n

“President Trump and his legal team in Georgia have prevailed once again,” Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement. “The trial court has decided that counts 15 and 27 in the indictment must be quashed\/dismissed.”<\/p>\n

Trump still faces eight counts in the case. He originally was charged with 13.<\/p>\n

Trump and 18 others pleaded not guilty last year to all charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia.<\/p>\n

Four defendants subsequently took plea deals in exchange for agreeing to testify against other defendants.<\/p>\n

A Georgia court of appeals paused the case in June pending the resolution of an appeal of the disqualification ruling that allowed District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on the case.<\/p>\n

Oral arguments in that appeal are currently scheduled for Dec. 5, a month after the presidential election.<\/p>\n

The former president has blasted the district attorney’s investigation as being politically motivated.<\/p>\n
