"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 lawyer claims that his client will invoke his Fifth Amendment rights unless granted written assurance of non-prosecution.

Bernie Kerik, a former New York police commissioner and ally of Rudy Giuliani, has handed over thousands of documents to special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating former President Donald Trump's role in the January 6 insurrection. Kerik, who was pardoned by Trump for crimes including tax fraud, had previously sought to withhold the documents but has now cleared them for release. Trump, who already faces multiple criminal charges, including hush money payments and retention of classified records, remains the frontrunner in polling for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
