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.
Bernie Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner and ally of former President Donald Trump, met with special counsel investigators in an exclusive meeting. Kerik's attorney spoke to CNN about the meeting, but no details about the nature or purpose of the meeting were disclosed.
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.
