Two metro Atlanta counties have won legal fees in an election lawsuit brought by former President Donald Trump.

Election officials in Cobb and DeKalb counties sought the fees in a Trump lawsuit that sought to overturn the presidential election in Georgia. A hearing on those requests was set for this Friday.

But last week the Cobb County Board of Elections received $15,554 to cover its legal costs through June 1, the county’s attorney confirmed. Trump’s attorney confirmed the DeKalb County’s fees also were reimbursed, though he did not say who reimbursed them, and the amount was not immediately available.

DeKalb sought $6,105 in fees in a motion filed in February. An attorney for DeKalb County confirmed its motion was withdrawn, but declined to comment further.

3. They already paid the fees. It was only like $21k.

4. I didn't see that at the link. Only like $24K is a lot of money for most of us. 45 has beaten ...

... smaller contractors out of even less than that finishing out condos in Trump Towers.

6. True, but this is politics, and they all raise and spend unbelievable amounts of money.

8. There were more people then just his campaign

the article stated he didn't pay the fee but didn't say who did. My guess is the Georgia GOP likely did.
