  • The judge overseeing Donald Trump's Georgia criminal case dismissed three counts against him.
  • He dropped six of the 41 counts in the indictment overall.
  • It's a rare piece of good news for Trump, but prosecutors have another shot at beefing up the indictment.

Former President Donald Trump got a rare bit of good news on Wednesday as the judge overseeing his criminal case in Georgia dismissed three of the counts against him.

Trump can't take a victory lap just yet, however. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee said in his ruling that prosecutors could still bring the criminal counts again — but they needed to provide additional detail about Trump's efforts to pressure Georgia officials to overturn the 2020 election results.
