Charges Against 15 Defendants Dropped A Michigan judge has dismissed criminal charges against 15 individuals accused of signing false certificates in 2020 declaring Donald Trump the winner of the state’s electoral votes. Trump lost Michigan and the presidency to Joe Biden.

Signs of a Cooling Labor Market The drop highlights a growing sense that…
