Fact Check: Georgia Supreme Court Did Not Dismiss Case Against TrumpA November 29 post on Threads falsely claimed that the Georgia Supreme Court dismissed the criminal case against Donald Trump brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The claim suggested the case, which revolves around alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, had been thrown out by the court.However, this assertion is not accurate. As of December 3, 2024, there was no record indicating that the Georgia Supreme Court had dismissed the case, nor had any other court taken such action. In fact, the case remains on hold, and the Georgia Court of Appeals, which is handling the matter, still lists it as pending.The case in question involves Trump and 18 co-defendants, who have been charged with attempting to interfere with Georgia's election results. While four of the co-defendants have pleaded guilty, Trump and 14 others have pleaded not guilty. Trump’s legal team has raised various motions, including asking the state Court of Appeals to remove Willis from the case. In November, the Court of Appeals also canceled oral arguments that were scheduled for December 5.The false claim appears to have been based on a November 29 article from the New York Post, which cited anonymous sources speculating that the Georgia Supreme Court might intervene in the case. However, the article did not report that the dismissal had occurred, and no credible sources have confirmed the claim. As of December 3, the case remains pending before the Court of Appeals, with no official action taken by the state Supreme Court.This is not the first instance of misleading information related to Trump’s legal troubles in Georgia. Earlier, false claims surfaced about Fani Willis being impeached, about judges removing her from the prosecution, and about the case ending prematurely. Fact-checking organizations, including USA TODAY, have debunked these and similar claims, underscoring the importance of verifying such allegations.
