Fani Willis thought she'd destroyed Donald Trump's political future with her witch hunt.
The disgraced prosecutor is on a massive losing streak.
And Fani Willis was blindsided with some bad news that will haunt her forever.
Willis' Lawfare Campaign Just Backfired Spectacularly
President Trump and his former codefendants are preparing to sue Fulton County for millions under a new Georgia law passed specifically because of Fani Willis' corrupt prosecution.
The statute allows defendants to recover "all reasonable attorney's fees and costs" when a prosecutor gets disqualified for misconduct and the case gets dismissed.¹
Trump's lead attorney Steve Sadow isn't mincing words.
"We will be moving for attorney's fees and costs under Georgia code," Sadow told the Washington Examiner.² "We will pursue every dollar allowed under the law."
Trump spent over $5 million defending himself, including more than $1.5 million to Sadow alone for fighting bogus racketeering charges that never should have been brought.³
Former Trump codefendant John Eastman said nearly every defendant is preparing to hit Willis where it hurts.
Eastman estimated Fulton County's total exposure between $10 and $20 million in taxpayer money.⁴
That's the bill Willis stuck Georgia taxpayers with because she was too busy having an affair with Nathan Wade to realize her case was garbage.
One Trump Ally Describes Willis' Reign of Terror
Harrison Floyd saw firsthand how Willis operates when she has power over someone.
Floyd was the only defendant Willis denied bond after his August 2023 surrender.
While Trump and 17 other codefendants walked out of the Fulton County Jail, Willis made Floyd rot there for nearly a week.⁵
"I was the only one they tried to deny bond," Floyd said.⁶
He believes Willis singled him out because he's a black conservative who refused to stay on the Democrat plantation.
Floyd described how Willis' prosecutors contacted and intimidated his family members before he surrendered.
Authorities initially refused to let him turn himself in, designed to portray him as a flight risk.⁷
"If I hadn't shown up the same day the president did, I'd probably still be sitting there," Floyd said.⁸
But Willis wasn't done.
Months later she personally appeared in court demanding Floyd be thrown back in jail for social media posts defending himself.⁹
Willis called his posts "disgusting" violations and demanded Judge Scott McAfee "remand him today."¹⁰
The judge refused, finding Willis' witness intimidation claims to be nonsense.¹¹
Floyd's attorney told reporters "the judge muzzled my client" with speech restrictions but kept him out of Willis' clutches.¹²
The financial destruction is only part of what Willis inflicted.
"The legal fees are the least of it," Floyd said, describing codefendants who lost homes, marriages, and relationships with their children.¹³ "There is damage that was done that just can't be repaired."
Willis Shows Zero Remorse for Destroying Lives
Willis faced a Republican-led Georgia Senate committee one week before Christmas.
She could have shown humility about the disaster she created.
Instead, Willis called Trump and his codefendants "criminals" and "crooks."¹⁴
"You all want to intimidate people from doing the right thing," Willis lectured lawmakers.¹⁵
When pressed about hiring boyfriend Nathan Wade and wasting millions, Willis dismissed questions as "ignorant" and "dumb-ass."¹⁶
Wade billed Fulton County for 160 hours per week when there are only 168 hours in a week total.¹⁷
He raked in hundreds of thousands in taxpayer dollars while having an affair with his boss.
A judge eventually found the arrangement created an "appearance of impropriety" and disqualified Willis from the case.¹⁸
The entire prosecution collapsed.
But Willis insisted at the Senate hearing that "whatever it cost" was worth it because Trump and his allies "tried to steal the rights of thousands of Georgians."¹⁹
Conservative legal advocates want Willis prosecuted herself.
Article III Project founder Mike Davis argued that recovering legal fees is just the start.
Willis and Wade should face "maximum legal accountability" including potential federal charges for conspiracy against rights, Davis wrote in a Fox News op-ed.²⁰
He noted Wade visited the Biden White House and billed those hours to Fulton County taxpayers, suggesting coordination with federal officials to target Trump.²¹
"The U.S. Justice Department has subpoenaed records from Willis," Davis revealed, calling for a grand jury investigation.²²
Willis spent years trying to bankrupt Trump's supporters and destroy their reputations with a corrupt racketeering case.
Now those same people are going to bankrupt Fulton County recovering the millions Willis forced them to spend defending against her witch hunt.
