At least eight of the 16 Republican "fake electors" who worked to overturn the 2020 Georgia presidential election have accepted immunity deals in an ongoing criminal investigation, according to a recent court filing. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis previously declared all the fake electors as targets of her investigation and is seeking to gather insights into their efforts to put forward alternate slates of electors to block the certification of the presidential vote. The newly granted cooperators could aid the investigation and offer more significant evidence potentially pointing to Donald Trump and his allies as perpetrators of election interference in the state.

The investigation is part of a broader examination of efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, and many more of the pro-Trump electors could still face legal exposure. The recent court filings are the latest in a series of legal maneuvers in the case. Fulton County prosecutors motioned to disqualify an attorney representing a group of the GOP fake electors. However, the attorney has denied the prosecutor’s claims. The investigation continues, and more details could emerge on the involvement of the former president and his allies.
