Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis filed court documents to appeal the decision to dismiss several charges against several of the defendants in the Georgia election interference case.

Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee ruled in March that six of the charges in the indictment be dismissed for lack of sufficient details.

They were related to the charges of Soliciting Violation of Oath for Public Office.

Former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants filed to dismiss the charges because they argued they were legally deficient, making the ruling a victory for the former president.

Many of these specific charges allege that the men illegally asked Georgia election officials to call a special legislative session and appoint pro-Trump electors.

Three of the dismissed charges directly name Trump and allege that the former president requested Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “illegally influence the certified election results” and requested that Raffensperger decertify the election in an infamous phone call in that Trump asked Raffensperger to find him more votes.

McAfee wrote that prosecutors could seek new indictment on the charges that were dismissed.
