Charges against Donald Trump and others in an election interference case in the US state of Georgia have been dismissed.

Pete Skandalakis, the prosecutor who recently took over the case, said in a court filing that he has decided not to pursue the case further.

It was unlikely the legal action against the US president could have progressed while he was still in office but the 14 others - including former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows - had still faced charges.

The case was dismissed in full by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee after Mr Skandalakis' submission.
