"The ruling comes as DA Fani Willis awaits a separate decision over whether she is disqualified from the case after revelations about her affair with prosecutor
- The dropped charges relate to alleged solicitation of oaths of office
- Judge McAfee has said he'll decide this week whether to disqualify Willis
"Former President Donald Trump has had three charges in his Georgia election case thrown out by the judge considering whether to disqualify Fani Willis.
"Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wrote Wednesday in an order that six of the charges in the indictment must be quashed, including three against Trump.
"But the order leaves intact many other charges in the indictment and the judge wrote that prosecutors could seek a new indictment on the charges he dismissed.
"The six charges in question have to do with allegedly soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. That includes two charges related to Trump's infamous phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, on Jan. 2, 2021 asking him to 'find' 11,780 votes.
"The surprise ruling comes at a time when McAfee faces a self-imposed deadline of this week to rule on whether to disqualify Willis from the case following bombshell revelations about her affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade." . . .
