TL;DR Summary

Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who made headlines in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay $260,104 in legal fees and expenses to the attorneys of the couple who sued her. This is in addition to $100,000 in damages previously determined by a jury. Despite her legal team's argument that the costs were excessive, the judge upheld the payment since the plaintiffs won their case. An appeal from Davis's attorneys is expected.
