Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has issued a subpoena for former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik to testify as a government witness in the trial in Georgia of two Trump co-conspirators later this month, according to a new letter obtained by CBS News.
Kerik attorney Tim Parlatore, in a sharply worded letter to the special prosecutor leading the case, Nathan Wade, confirmed that Kerik has received a subpoena to testify at the upcoming trial of lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell on Oct. 23. The two, who both invoked their right to a speedy trial, are being tried separately from former President Donald Trump and 16 others accused in Georgia of trying to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Parlatore pointed out to Wade that "no competent criminal attorney would allow Mr. Kerik to testify absent a grant of immunity." Kerik has been identified as one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the case, so Parlatore argued that without immunity, testifying would imperil Kerik's 5th and 6th Amendment rights. He wrote that his client "has done nothing wrong" and rejected claims by the district attorney's office that he is a co-conspirator.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
