Official says law Trump is using to seek legal fees in Georgia election case likely unconstitutional
The head of a nonpartisan group supporting Georgia prosecutors says a new state law used by Donald Trump and others to seek attorney fees is likely unconstitutional. The law denies county governments due process when defendants request reimbursement, according to Georgia Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council Executive Director Pete Skandalakis. The law allows defendants to request fees if a prosecutor is disqualified for improper conduct. Trump seeks over $6.2 million, with nearly $17 million sought in total. Skandalakis argues the law unfairly burdens county governments. A spokesperson for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis declined to comment.
