A prosecutor in Georgia who recently took over the election-related criminal case against President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will drop charges against the president and others charged in the case.

“In my professional opinion, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years,” prosecutor Pete Skandalakis said in court papers filed on Wednesday, adding that the case should be ended to “serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality.”
