Trump faces ten charges after six dismissed in indictment

Fulton County Superior Court Judge McAfee ruled that six of the charges in the 41-count indictment related to former President Trump and some co-defendants allegedly soliciting the violation of oath by a public officer lacked the required detail about what underlying crime the defendants were soliciting. Essentially, Donald Trump now faces ten charges.

The charges dismissed have to do with soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. McAfee says the indictments were not detailed enough. However, the order leaves intact many other charges in the indictment and the judge wrote that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could seek a new indictment on the charges he dismissed.
