Georgia Election Interference Prosecution

Donald Trump has filed a motion seeking roughly $6.26 million in attorney fees under a 2025 Georgia statute after the Georgia Court of Appeals permanently barred DA Fani Willis and her office from the Fulton election prosecution and the case was dismissed; combined reimbursement requests from multiple defendants total nearly $17 million. Pete Skandalakis, now leading the matter, filed a brief saying the fee‑shifting law is likely unconstitutional—arguing it violates county due‑process and separation‑of‑powers protections and does not apply because Willis was removed for an “appearance of impropriety” rather than “improper conduct”—a position Willis’s office has echoed, while Trump’s lawyer says the statute is constitutional.
