"Fulton County DA subpoenas former NY police commissioner for trial testimony, seeks immunity"

The Fulton County district attorney's office has subpoenaed former New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik to testify in the first trial related to election subversion plots in Georgia, but Kerik's lawyer is demanding immunity in exchange for his client's testimony. The subpoena highlights the prosecution's efforts to secure crucial trial testimony regarding former President Donald Trump and his allies' attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Kerik's pushback underscores the complexities faced by prosecutors in a case involving multiple jurisdictions and potential legal jeopardy for Trump and his allies. Kerik's lawyer claims that his client will invoke his Fifth Amendment rights unless granted written assurance of non-prosecution.
