A superior court judge has dismissed the election interference criminal case in Georgia

against President Trump and allies at the request of the special prosecutor.

From member station WABE in Atlanta, Alex Helmick reports.

Prosecutor Pete Scandalakis took over the massive RICO case that involved 14 others earlier

he decided not to pursue the case against the president in the interest of justice. It was

launching a series of events, including Trump's phone call to state officials looking for 11,780 votes.

Trump's attorney said the case should never have been brought.

All the lawmakers have either military or intelligence backgrounds.

In addition to Kelly, the FBI has been contacting other Democrats, including Senator

Alyssa Lacken of Michigan.

Obviously, I'm worried about my family.
