On March 10, 2025, Georgia Senate Passes Bill Allowing Trump to Seek Legal Fee Reimbursement from Fani Willis' RICO Claims

On March 10, 2025, the Georgia Senate passed a bill that could allow President Donald Trump to seek financial restitution for legal expenses incurred from lawsuits related to the 2020 election. This legislation specifically targets the legal challenges posed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who has been involved in prosecuting Trump under RICO claims. The bill aims to enable Trump and others involved to recover costs associated with defending against these claims, potentially charging the counties where the lawsuits are filed for reimbursement. Trump has expressed intentions to pursue compensation from various law firms involved in what he describes as 'lawfare' against him, signaling a broader effort to address perceived legal injustices stemming from the election aftermath.
