The Fulton County District Attorney's office has revealed that some of the individuals who posed as electors for Donald Trump have accused each other of possible criminal conduct. As a result, the DA is seeking to remove their attorney from the case, according to a recent court document.
The DA's office is attempting to disqualify attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow from representing a group of ten Republicans who acted as electors for Trump in Georgia, a state he lost to Joe Biden. The office also alleges that Debrow did not inform her clients about an immunity offer last year, as stated in the filing.
This new filing suggests that immunity deals might still be under consideration, months after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicated that charging decisions were forthcoming. It highlights that investigators have recently interviewed some of the fake electors, and there is ongoing maneuvering behind the scenes as the announcement of potential charges looms in the investigation into Trump's and his allies' attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
The DA's office argues that statements from some of Debrow's clients, which implicate another client in further illegal activities, create conflicts of interest significant enough to warrant her disqualification from the case. During interviews in April 2023, some electors claimed that another elector represented by Debrow engaged in actions that violate Georgia law, actions they were not involved in.
Last year, during a legal battle to compel the fake electors to testify, the court directed two attorneys, including Debrow, to inform their clients about potential immunity deals. The attorneys reported to the court that their clients were not interested. However, the DA's office now asserts that these offers were never communicated to the clients.
The filing notes that some electors told investigators they were never informed of any immunity offers in 2022. Debrow has criticized the DA's latest motion, calling it unfounded and offensive. She maintains that her clients have not committed any crimes or implicated themselves or others.
No charges have been filed yet in the Georgia case, although several individuals, including the 16 fake electors and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, have been identified as potential targets in Willis's investigation. A special grand jury concluded its work late last year, recommending charges against more than a dozen individuals, according to the panel's foreperson.
