A judge on Thursday dismissed two criminal counts against Donald Trump in his Georgia election interference case, but kept intact the top racketeering charge and other counts against the former president and other defendants.
Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee also tossed out a third count that had been lodged against a number of Trump allies.
The third count the judge tossed — numbered as Count 14 in the indictment — was criminal attempt to commit filing false documents.
In March, judge tossed out three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer that had been lodged against Trump.
Trump's appeal is set to be heard in oral arguments at the Georgia Court of Appeals in December.
