The Georgia judge overseeing the racketeering (RICO) and election interference case against Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed six of the counts in the indictment because they lacked relevant details.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued the ruling in a nine-page order responding to special demurrers. Along with the 45th president, co-defendants Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Ray Smith, and Robert Cheeley received limited relief.

Overall, counts two, five, six, 23, 28, and 38 of the 41-count indictment were quashed — leaving most of the co-defendants still facing several counts, except for Meadows, who now only faces one count.
