Fulton County (GA) District Attorney Fani Willis and her office were not able to avoid paying nearly $17 million in legal fees requested by President Donald Trump and his co-defendants.On March 9, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee denied Willis’ bid to avoid the payment, ruling that her office remains disqualified from the case, CBS News reports. He did allow Fulton County to join the dispute over the 14 former defendants—including Trump—who are now seeking $16,853,810.28 in attorneys’ fees and costs under a newly enacted Georgia law that permits defendants to recover expenses when a prosecutor is disqualified.https://www.blackenterprise.com/fanni-willis-withhold-paying-trump-denied/
