Immunity deals granted to fake electors in Georgia Trump investigation raise questions about his involvement.

Eight alleged fake electors who sought to cast Georgia's electoral votes to former President Donald Trump instead of Joe Biden agreed to immunity deals with prosecutors investigating the scheme. Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis said possible criminal indictments from the investigation could come between July 11 and Sept. 1. The immunity deals may indicate that Willis' probe could lead to charges for more central players in the 2020 electors scheme, like Trump, Rudy Giuliani or lawyer John Eastman.

Legal experts are divided on the legal exposure of the GOP electors, with some arguing they could be charged with violating state laws against false statements, forgery, racketeering, and election fraud.

Half of the 16 fake electors in Georgia who sought to falsely declare Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 election have accepted immunity deals in the local criminal investigation into the matter. The immunity deals to the eight came in April, according to the filing, after the Fulton county district attorney’s office called their lawyer and said prosecutors were willing to make the arrangement. The latest twist in the Georgia election criminal investigation comes as the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, is expected to ask a grand jury starting in mid-July to return charges against Trump and dozens of people involved in efforts to reverse his defeat in the state of Georgia.

Fake Trump Electors Granted Immunity in Georgia Investigation

More than half of the fake Georgia electors who were convened in December 2020 to try to keep former President Donald J. Trump in power have taken immunity deals in the investigation into election interference there. The district attorney of Fulton County, Ga., Fani T. Willis, has spent more than two years investigating whether the former president and his allies illegally meddled in the 2020 election in Georgia, which Mr. Trump narrowly lost to President Biden. Ultimately, it will be up to Ms. Willis to decide which charges to seek before a regular grand jury, which she has said she will do after a new jury is seated in mid-July.

Georgia prosecutor offers immunity deals and seeks lawyer's removal in Trump election investigation.

Fulton prosecutors have offered immunity deals to some GOP electors who signed sham documents claiming to be Georgia's duly elected Electoral College representatives during a ceremony in mid-December 2020. The DA's office has been interviewing several of those Republicans in recent weeks, and some of them accused a fellow elector of committing "acts that are violations of Georgia law." The DA's office filed a motion to disqualify attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow, who is representing 10 of the electors, alleging that she failed to inform her clients about the potential immunity deals after they were offered last summer.
