Attorney Alina Habba said on Wednesday that a judge’s dismissal of six counts in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election case shows the “sloppiness” of local prosecutors.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed six of the 41 counts in an indictment against President Trump and his codefendants on Wednesday.
