Georgia appeals court asked to restore 6 charges against Trump, co-defendants

Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis is asking an appeals court to reinstate three election subversion charges against former President Donald Trump, in addition to three other counts against his co-defendants, after they were dismissed by a trial court judge in March.

In the new court filing Tuesday to the Georgia Court of Appeals, Willis argues Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee "erred" earlier this year when he tossed six counts relating to the alleged solicitation of the violation of oath by a public officer, over the prosecution's "failure to allege sufficient detail."
