Georgia’s Senate has approved a bill that could allow President Donald Trump and his allies to get compensated for legal fees in the criminal case stemming from their challenge to the 2020 election results.

Senate Bill 244, which passed unanimously on Thursday, would grant defendants in criminal cases the right to recover their legal expenses if the prosecuting attorney is disqualified due to improper conduct.
