A lawyer for an alleged co-conspirator in the Georgia 2020 election interference case has said that former Donald Trump lawyer Sidney Powell is mostly at fault over "knowingly" pushing false claims about the results.
Tim Parlatore, a former Trump attorney who currently represents ex-New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik, made the claim after his client was subpoenaed to give evidence in the trial of Georgia defendants Powell and lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, which is due to begin on October 23. This would be the first trial as part of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' sprawling election interference case.
Kerik has not been charged under Willis' probe, but Parlatore previously confirmed to CNN that he was among the 30 "unindicted co-conspirators" who were featured in Willis' indictment against the former president and 18 others, including Powell and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Kerik is accused of participating in meetings in states where Trump was contesting the 2020 election results, such as Pennsylvania and Arizona. In a letter to Fulton County District Attorney's Office, Parlatore demanded that his client be granted immunity in exchange for testifying while noting that Willis' indictment doesn't contain "any alleged criminal activity" about the former New York police commissioner.
