Former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik is fighting a subpoena for his testimony in upcoming trials related to election interference in Georgia, stating that he would only testify if granted an immunity deal. Kerik, listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case, argues that participating in the trial without immunity could put him in legal jeopardy. His attorney claims that none of the meetings Kerik attended displayed criminal conduct and asserts his right to invoke the Fifth Amendment.
