"Ex-Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Fined $260K for Denying Same-Sex Marriage License"

Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who made headlines in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples due to her religious beliefs, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay an additional $260,000 in legal fees to the attorneys of David Ermold and David Moore, a gay couple she denied. This amount is in addition to the $100,000 awarded to the couple last September. Davis, who was jailed for five days for contempt of court and lost her re-election bid in 2018, is represented by Liberty Counsel, which plans to appeal the ruling.
