An Am Law 200 firm and a small white-collar criminal defense boutique have received more than half of the Georgia Republican Party’s $1 million in payments for legal costs this year, as the state party continues to apparently honor its pledge to cover the legal costs of some defendants in the racketeering case linked to former President Donald Trump.
The Georgia GOP paid a total of $1,057,300 through Oct. 31 in legal costs, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), after party leaders vowed to support the defense of Republican activists who declared themselves presidential “electors” in the 2020 election.
