A Fulton County judge has quashed six counts in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants.
Judge Scott McAffee said in an order Wednesday that the state failed to allege sufficient detail for six counts of "solicitation of violation of oath by public officer"
"The Court's concern is less that the State has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the Defendants — in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned opinion, fatal," McAfee wrote.
"As written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited."
This is a developing story and will be updated.

The fate of Fani Willis will be determined this week.
WAIT!!!!! WAIT!!!!! WAIT!!!!! They failed to provide the necessary proof to back up their allegations? Again?
This seems to be a trend.
Yup, they listed all the crimes they thought Trump committed but failed to tell us how.
They could come back with a do-over, but that won't be in time to effect the election.
The moral of the story is that if you play with shit you are bound to come out covered with it.
It doens't help that they entered the game covered in it.
"total exoneration"
Maybe Democrats should find a better DA criminal to bring charges next time John.
They seem to have a ton to choose from.
Overcharging is SOP for prosecutors. This isn’t just a problem Trump has. It happens to everyone in the system.
Brandon, Hillary Clinton, and Hunter Biden disagree.
So 6 of 41 charges have been dropped? Got it.
