Trump’s Lead Lawyer Donated to Fani Willis

By Leave a Comment

Rolling Stone: “Drew Findling has a storied history within the Georgia legal world. The high-profile Atlanta attorney is known for representing celebrity clients like Cardi B, Migos’ Offset, DaBaby, and NBA Youngboy, garnering him the moniker #BillionDollarLawyer.”

“Findling has also been a frequent backer of Democratic political figures, so much so that in 2020 he donated to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ primary campaign. The donation wouldn’t normally raise eyebrows, except that Findling is currently one of Donald Trump’s lead attorneys helping the former president fight RICO charges handed down by Willis on Monday.”

If You Follow Politics, You Already Know the Value of Data

Political campaigns spend billions collecting data because it works. The same data economy fuels scammers, spammers, and identity thieves.

Your phone number, home address, family connections, and work history are quietly bought and sold by data brokers—often without your knowledge. Once that information is out there, bad actors don’t have to guess who you are. They already know.

Incogni goes after the data brokers for you. It automatically submits removal requests, tracks responses, and keeps monitoring to make sure your personal information stays off the market—even after you move or change jobs.

Starve the data brokers. Protect your privacy. Get 55% off Incogni annual plans with code POLITICALWIRE.
