On November 27, 2025, a Georgia prosecutor, Peter Skandalakis, announced the dismissal of criminal charges against Donald Trump, who had been accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. This decision has raised concerns about the integrity of the legal system and the historical record of election accountability. Skandalakis, the executive director of the state’s nonpartisan prosecutor council, dismantled the case originally presented by Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis, which included substantial evidence of Trump's attempts to influence state election officials. Notably, Trump had requested Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to 'find' enough votes to alter the election outcome, specifically asking for 11,780 votes, which he claimed would reverse his defeat.

When Raffensperger did not comply, Trump allegedly threatened him with criminal liability, asserting that his actions would negatively affect voter turnout in future elections. This exchange has been characterized as one of the most notorious instances of presidential misconduct in U.S. history. The dismissal of these charges not only affects the current political landscape but also sets a precedent for how similar cases may be handled in the future, potentially undermining the principles of electoral integrity and accountability in governance.

In related news, on November 27, 2023, President Donald Trump declared that South Africa would not receive an invitation to the 2026 G-20 summit, attributing this decision to what he described as 'horrific human rights abuses' occurring in the country. Clayson Monyela, head of diplomacy for South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation, responded by emphasizing that South Africa is a founding member of the G-20 and that excluding it would undermine the integrity of the organization. Monyela noted that other countries have indicated they would also boycott the U.S. G-20 if South Africa is excluded, highlighting the potential diplomatic fallout from this decision.

The Trump administration has previously criticized South Africa's government for not adequately addressing violence and discrimination in rural areas. In addition to the exclusion from the G-20, Trump announced plans to halt U.S. payments and subsidies to South Africa, stating that the country is 'not worthy of membership anywhere.' This decision follows a series of escalating tensions between Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, including the suspension of U.S. aid and the expulsion of the South African ambassador from the U.S.

Furthermore, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican representative from Georgia's 14th congressional district, has announced her plan to resign from her position in January 2026. This decision follows a series of personal attacks and threats she claims to have faced as a political figure. Greene has diverged from the Republican Party on several key issues, including the war in Gaza and health care subsidies, leading to a public falling out with Trump. In her resignation statement, Greene highlighted the challenges she faced, including ongoing personal attacks and threats, and expressed her discontent with being labeled negatively for advocating for victims of sexual violence. Greene's resignation underscores the ongoing tensions within the Republican Party and the challenges faced by political figures in navigating public discourse and personal safety.
