Trump files motion to compel the Fulton County District Attorney's office to pay him $6.2 million in "compensation" [View all]
Trump has filed a motion in Georgia state court to compel the Fulton County District Attorney's office to pay him $6.2 million in compensation for the now-dismissed election racketeering case, Lawfare's Anna Bower reported on Wednesday.
The motion relies on a law passed by Georgia Republicans last year, which entitles criminal defendants to compel district attorneys to pay their legal fees when the case is dismissed as a result of prosecutorial misconduct.
The Georgia case, filed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in 2023 after two years of investigation, charged Trump and a number of his lawyers and political operatives for essentially running an organized crime ring to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in that state.
