Georgia fake elector defendants accept immunity in Trump probe

Prosecutors for Georgia's Fulton County have granted immunity to at least eight people under investigation for conspiring to overturn Georgia's vote in the 2020 presidential election, according to a court filing on Friday.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willisis expected to disclose this summer whether former President Donald Trump and others will be charged with crimes related to interfering with the 2020 election.

Attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow represented 10 of the 16 suspected fake electors who may have offered to cast electoral college votes for Trump even though Democrat Joe Biden won Georgia and the right to all of the state's 16 electoral college votes.

Debrow said in a court filing on Friday that prosecutors "made actual, written offers of immunity to these eight electors in April 2023 but not to the remaining two." That led to the non-immunized clients getting new lawyers, Debrow said in the filing.

Also in the filing, Debrow said, "All eight of the electors who were offered immunity accepted."
