Trump seeks $6M in legal fees under new Georgia law
President Donald Trump has filed a motion asking a Georgia state court to order the Fulton County District Attorney’s office to pay more than $6.2 million in attorney fees and costs from the dismissed election interference case. Trump’s request is based on Senate Bill 244, a 2025 Georgia law signed by Gov. Brian Kemp that lets defendants recoup legal expenses if a prosecutor is disqualified for misconduct and the case is dismissed. In the Georgia election racketeering prosecution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed from the case after a court found her relationship with a special prosecutor created an appearance of impropriety, and the case was later dismissed. Trump’s legal team says the statute entitles him to reimbursement from the budget of the DA’s office, while critics argue the law raises concerns about prosecutorial independence and taxpayer burden.
