Trump allies offered plea agreements in Georgia election interference case

At least half of fake electors have already reached deals with district attorney's office for immunity in exchange for assistance

Fulton county prosecutors in Georgia have approached several defendants about plea agreements in the sprawling criminal racketeering case dealing with Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 election, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Tuesday.

Plea agreements are common in such cases accusing defendants of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (Rico) Act, where prosecutors will often try and get individuals at the lower level of a criminal enterprise to flip" and assist the prosecution in exchange for a lighter sentence or immunity. The district attorney's office has already reached immunity plea agreements with at least half of the fake set of electors in Georgia.
