At least eight of the Republican “fake voters” in Georgia have accepted immunity deals in an ongoing criminal investigation into efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election there. according to a new court document.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had previously notified the 16 fake GOP voters in Georgia that they were targets of her investigation. Last month, Willis offered immunity deals to several of the Republicans who served as pro-Trump voters and they accepted, according to the filing.
The new contributors secured could provide insight into a key point in Willis’ extensive investigation into election interference: attempts to introduce alternative lists of voters to block the certification of the 2020 presidential vote and the role that allies played of Trump in organizing the effort.
Other Republicans who served as pro-Trump voters could still face legal exposure in his investigation, according to people familiar with the matter.
Friday’s filing was attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow’s response to an earlier motion by Willis seeking to have Debrow disqualified from the case. Debrow represents a group of GOP bogus voters in Georgia and opposed the motion to have her out of the case.
“The district attorney’s motion is reckless, frivolous, offensive and completely without merit,” Debrow wrote in Friday’s filing.
The district attorney’s office declined to comment.
The district attorney’s office said in an earlier court filing that the bogus voters had begun incriminating each other, creating a conflict for Debrow in their joint representation of the bogus voters.
In Friday’s filing, Debrow responded forcefully, writing “there is no merit to the district attorney’s contention that any constituent incriminated another in his recent interview, and the recordings and transcripts prove it.”
The district attorney’s office also accused Debrow and an attorney he previously worked with of failing to present immunity proposals to bogus GOP voters in 2022.
Debrow also disputed that accusation, saying the caucus rejected “potential” immunity offers last year, but that specific, individual immunity offers had never been made until this spring.
Willis recently told local law enforcement officials in a letter that he plans to make an announcement about possible charges against Trump or his allies between July 11 and September 1.
