Eight fake Trump electors accept immunity deal in Georgia criminal investigation: report

Raw Story  

Eight of the 16 fake "electors" who convened to declare former President Donald Trump the winner of Georgia in 2020 have accepted an immunity agreement from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, The Washington Postreported on Friday. "Prosecutors with the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis told the eight that they will not be charged with crimes if they testify truthfully in her sprawling investigation into efforts by Trump, his campaign and his allies to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia, according to a brief filed Friday in Fulton County Superior Court by defense attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow," reported Amy Gardner and Holly Bailey. Brian Kemp’s certification of Biden’s win, is a key target of her investigation, along with Trump’s phone calls to multiple state officials and his campaign’s potential involvement in an unauthorized breach of election equipment in rural Coffee County, Ga." "Georgia was among seven states where the Trump campaign and local GOP officials arranged for alternate electors to convene with the stated purpose of preserving legal recourse while election challenges made their way through the courts," said the report. IN OTHER NEWS: Trump could have been planning to share his classified information with the Saudis: Former DOJ official She has investigated several facets of the plot to overturn the election in Georgia, including Trump's phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger demanding he "find" extra votes to declare him the winner, and Sen.
