Prosecutors Reject Plea Deals for Trump, Meadows, and Giuliani in Georgia Case

Fulton county prosecutors in Georgia are reportedly opposed to offering plea deals to former President Donald Trump, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who are all charged in connection with their efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state. The prosecutors prefer to take them to trial, while leaving open the possibility of plea talks with other co-defendants in the hope that they become cooperating witnesses against Trump. The decision has not been formally communicated and could still change, but it reveals the main targets of the prosecutors and their strategy of using Georgia's racketeering statute.
