Gov. Kemp Signs Another 120 Bills, Including One that Could Benefit Trump

  • Governor Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 244 in May 2025, establishing new legal compensation processes in Georgia, including provisions affecting Donald Trump and others.
  • The bill arose after Fulton County DA Fani Willis was disqualified from prosecuting Trump and co-defendants charged for attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.
  • SB 244 allows defendants to recover legal fees if prosecution is dismissed due to prosecutor misconduct, while also creating a system compensating wrongfully convicted individuals.
  • Trump has spent about $2.7 million defending himself, with the Georgia GOP paying at least $2 million for other defendants, and attorney Steve Sadow called the bill a "turning point."
  • If the Georgia Supreme Court upholds Willis' disqualification, Fulton County taxpayers could bear significant legal costs, raising concerns among Democrats about political and financial impacts.
