It comes as the DOJ is already juggling a flood of claims tied to Trump, including lawsuits from the former president himself and even Jan. 6 defendants seeking payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meadows was never charged in Jack Smith\u2019s federal case, but he was swept up in aggressive state prosecutions in Georgia and Arizona over the so-called \u201cfake electors\u201d effort. Trump later pardoned him, and Georgia prosecutors dropped their case \u2014 but Arizona remains unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now comes the price tag&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Court filings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mark-meadows-reimbursement-justice-department-legal-fees-trump-probe\/\">show<\/a> Meadows has already spent well over $2 million on lawyers, including big-name firms and a former top DOJ appellate attorney. Some of those costs were reportedly covered by a conservative nonprofit, raising fresh scrutiny from watchdog groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His pitch to DOJ hinges on a key argument: he was acting in his official role at the time \u2014 meaning the government should help foot the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s far from guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Department rules allow reimbursement in limited cases, but officials weigh factors like whether the actions served the \u201cinterest of the United States.\u201d Translation: not every political fight qualifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Meadows is also trying to claw back legal costs in Georgia under a new state law \u2014 part of a broader push by multiple defendants seeking more than $17 million combined. That effort is now tied up in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The bottom line:<br><\/strong>A top Trump ally is asking Washington to pay for the legal fallout of one of the most controversial chapters in modern politics \u2014 and whether taxpayers will actually be forced to cover it remains an open question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.anedot.com\/tppac\/db-action?source_code=db-tppac-em53-004&#038;utm_campaign=tp260207&#038;utm_medium=revshare&#038;utm_source=db&#038;utm_content=text_link1&#038;exitIntent=true\">Turning Point is funding the largest ballot-chasing operation in U.S. history to win key battleground states.
