Georgia counties seek legal fees for ‘frivolous’ Trump voter-fraud lawsuit Two counties in Georgia are seeking to recoup attorneys’ fees from former President Donald Trump and Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer stemming from their lawsuit that made “frivolous” and “baseless” claims of voter fraud in Georgia’s count during the presidential election, according to court filings. DeKalb County said its legal costs to fight the “unsubstantiated and harassing claims” contained in the lawsuit amounted to $6,105. Cobb County is seeking $10,875 in attorney’s fees, which represents “just a fraction” of the amount spent by 15 counties, the state of Georgia and other parties involved in the litigation, according to the county’s motion.
