Former President Donald Trump is now seeking over six million dollars in attorney fees and costs from the Fulton County District Attorneys office in Georgia, following the dismissal of the election interference case against him. This move is made possible by a state law that allows for such recoveries when a prosecutor is disqualified due to improper conduct and the case is subsequently dropped. The district attorney, Fani Willis, and her office were removed from the case due to an appearance of impropriety stemming from Willis romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she had appointed to lead the case. The new prosecutor dismissed the entire case in November, with Trumps lead attorney, Steve Sadow, labeling it a politically motivated prosecution. The Associated Press has reached out to representatives for Willis for comment, but no response has been received yet. Checkout Solipillow.com
