Headline: Fulton County Prosecutor Seeks Disqualification of Attorney Representing Alleged Fraudulent Trump Electors
Body: The Fulton County Prosecutor's Office has indicated that certain individuals, claiming to be electors for Donald Trump, are pointing fingers at each other in potential criminal activities. The office is also pushing for the disqualification of their attorney, Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow, as per a recent court document.
Debrow represents a group of 10 Republicans who acted as electors for the former president in Georgia, a state that Trump lost to President Joe Biden. The Prosecutor's Office has also accused Debrow of failing to offer her clients an immunity deal last year, as detailed in the court document.
This recent court document implies that immunity deals might still be on the table, months after Fulton County Prosecutor Fani Willis hinted at imminent charges.
The document reveals that investigators had discussions with some of these alleged fraudulent Republican electors earlier this month. The anticipation of who might face charges in the ongoing investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia is creating a behind-the-scenes power play.
The Prosecutor's Office noted in the filing, "The testimonies of some of her clients, which directly implicate another client in additional crimes, demonstrate that Ms. Debrow’s continued involvement in this case is rife with conflicts of interest—enough to warrant her disqualification from this case entirely."
During the interviews in April 2023, "Some electors stated that another elector represented by Ms. Debrow committed acts that violated Georgia law, and they were not involved in these additional acts," according to the court document.
Despite a legal battle last year to get the alleged fraudulent electors to testify, the court ordered two attorneys, including Debrow, to discuss potential immunity deals with their clients. The attorneys reported back to the court that their clients were not interested. However, the Prosecutor's Office now contends that these offers were never presented to the clients.
The court document states, "Furthermore, in these interviews, some of the electors represented by Ms. Debrow informed the investigation team that they were never presented with any potential immunity deal in 2022."
Debrow strongly responded to the recent motion, calling it "baseless, false, and offensive." She added, "None of my clients have committed any crimes, and they haven't implicated themselves or each other in any crimes."
While no charges have been filed yet in the Georgia case, a number of individuals, including the 16 alleged fraudulent electors and former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, have been notified that they could be potential targets of Willis's investigation.
Last year, a special grand jury concluded its investigation into the matter, suggesting that more than a dozen individuals should face charges, as the panel's foreperson stated in interviews.
