Defense attorney Kimberly Debrow, who with another attorney was retained to represent 11 of the bogus electors, has filed documents indicating eight clients have accepted immunity deals with the Fulton County District Attorney.
Which eight...are not specified.
In December 2020, 16 fake electors signed their names to a document which falsely declared themselves “duly elected” and also falsely stated Donald Trump had won the presidential election in Georgia. The DA’s office has said all 16 became targets of the criminal probe into election meddling.
Debrow revealed the existence of the immunity deals in a court filing Friday, saying her eight clients had accepted the agreements last month. The filing does not identify the eight people who were offered immunity deals.
Last July, a lawyer for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office revealed that each of the 16 people who signed the false elector certificate was a target of her investigation, which is examining whether Trump and his allies committed any crimes while trying to overturn his narrow election loss.
The 16 fake electors met at the state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, and signed a certificate declaring falsely that Trump had won the presidential election and declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors.
