Judge blocks Fulton County DA from intervening in attorney fees case brought by Trump
WSBTV2 ^ | 3/10/26

Posted on 03/10/2026 6:41:57 AM PDT by CFW

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled Monday to block intervention by District Attorney Fani Willis in the legal battle over paying attorneys fees related to the indictment of President Donald Trump.

The president, some of his co-defendants and their attorneys are in the midst of seeking more than $16 million, collectively, in legal fee recovery due to the dismissal of the indictment.

In her role as DA, Willis was seeking to prevent the payment of the $16 million citing, among other reasons, how it would impact the office’s budget and subsequent ability to perform its duties.

However, Judge McAfee ruled against Willis’ involvement in this portion of the case, citing his own previous rulings that removed her as prosecutor in the legal fight.

Poor ole Fani.

She went from queen of her hill to a squashed little ant with no clout in just a couple of short years.

The judge needs to throw that corrupt ton of lard in jail.

Maybe she can manage to pull some of her ‘house money’ out to pay for some of it - you know, the money she said that black people keep around the house. I wonder WHERE she got all that from...... 🤔🧐

Until “poor ole Fani” is rightfully in prison, I won’t be satisfied merely with a destroyed political career.

“The judge needs to throw that corrupt ton of lard in jail.”

Agreed.


Further from the article:

“Responding to the decision, Attorney Steve Sadow, who represented the president, described the decision as proper.

“Judge McAfee has properly denied DA Willis’ motion to intervene in POTUS’ action for reimbursement of attorney fees because her disqualification for improper conduct bars Willis and her office from any further participation in this dismissed, lawfare case,” Sadow said.”

Unfortunately DEI black woman fat Fani got reelected and probably will again. She is an embarrassment to the black community though. ATL blacks have to get rid of her.

I just wonder about those ‘death threats’ she claimed to have gotten that resulted in her getting a 24 hr security detail. I mean, did she REALLY get any threats?

She needs to be permanently disbarred for malicious prosecution.

Other lawyers need to be dissuaded from ever attempting to impact an election with their prosecutorial powers.

Law-fare needs to be driven from our republic.

“”to a squashed little ant””

She could never be considered “little”...it would take a lot to squash her....

Wonder when she’ll decide the best course of action for her is to sit down and shut up...

Fani is a Ratchet and will get elected in Fulton county as long as she wants to run.

She did not care how the witch hunt would affect Trump’s budget.

It was the Biden Whitehouse and DOJ that created (this) nightmare in Fulton County. If Willis was smart, she should file a civil suit for damages, listing all the players at the DOJ and Whitehouse Administration. She was the more than willing Patsy, just thrilled with promises of fortune and fame.
