The court’s decision does not dismiss the indictment against Trump and his co-defendants, meaning a new prosecutor will be assigned to the case against them.Trump is unlikely to face a trial until after his time in the White House, but some of his co-defendants could face trials sooner.Several, including Trump allies Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, had already pleaded guilty in the case.
