TL;DR Summary

Fulton County prosecutors have engaged in discussions about potential plea deals with at least six additional co-defendants charged alongside Donald Trump for attempting to subvert the 2020 presidential election. The strategy is to encourage co-defendants to cooperate and provide evidence against Trump, leaving him and a few close allies vulnerable. So far, four defendants have already accepted plea deals, including writing letters of apology for their role in the election overturn efforts. However, there is no indication that prosecutors or Trump's legal team are interested in discussing a plea deal, as any proposal would require Trump to plead guilty to all charges. Giuliani, Meadows, and Eastman have not been offered plea deals at this stage.
