President Trump speaks to the media aboard Air Force One on Tuesday.

The historic Georgia election interference case against President Trump and allies for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election is no more.

A judge in Georgia granted a motion for dismissal on Wednesday.

The case was already struggling. After the Fulton County prosecutor who brought the indictment, Fani Willis, was barred from the case, the head of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia took over the case. That prosecutor, Pete Skandalakis, motioned to dismiss the case.

Trump had pleaded not guilty.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
