Fani Willis’ effort to prosecute then-former President Donald Trump, alleging a coordinated effort to change the results of the 2020 election and keep himself in power, ended on Wednesday, the day before his first of four Thanksgivings he’ll celebrate as commander-in-chief once again.
The case against Trump and 14 other co-defendants collapsed in a heap after a prosecutor assigned to take over the case from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked a judge to dismiss the charges, citing the unfeasible prospect of compelling a sitting president to appear in court and the small likelihood that the trial could still be mounted after he left office.
