US EditionFulton County Braces for $15M Taxpayer Hit After Trump Legal Fee Demand
Trump demands $6.2 million in legal fees from Fulton County after dismissal of election interference case under a recent Georgia law allowing fee reimbursement.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump demanded reimbursement of 6.2 million after the Georgia election-interference case was dismissed, filing a motion that asks Fulton County District Attorney's office to pay more than 6 million in legal fees.
- The request follows a Georgia law passed last year allowing fee recovery when charges are dismissed, and Fani Willis, Fulton County District Attorney, was later disqualified from the underlying Georgia election-interference case.
- Georgia prosecutor Peter Skandalakis moved to dismiss the case in November, calling the prosecution "futile and unproductive" after the 13 counts tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
- Fulton County officials warn taxpayers could face $10 to $15 million if the fee dispute persists, with Willis filing to intervene over fee entitlement.
- The fee-recovery statute passed last year has become central to this post-dismissal fight, keeping Fulton County, Georgia in national attention amid debate over the 13-count election case.
