Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has reportedly discussed making plea deals with at least six other co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case.
Multiple sources informed CNN that the District Attorney's strategy is to have any many individuals turn on Trump as possible.
CNN reports:
Pro-Trump lawyer Robert Cheeley is among those who have been offered a plea deal in the Georgia case but, according to his lawyer, turned it down.
“To say that we are currently in discussions with the DA's office would be an inaccurate representation of what is going on. They made us an offer some time ago and we declined it,” Cheeley's attorney Richard Rice said.
Former Coffee County, Georgia, elections supervisor Misty Hampton and former Trump campaign official Mike Roman have also been in contact with the DA's office about a possible deal, multiple sources said.
CNN has confirmed that three other defendants have also discussed a potential plea deal with Fulton County prosecutors but agreed not to name them after sources expressed concerns about speaking about the case at this phase.
A source with knowledge of the Fulton County DA's strategy said Willis would be open to discussing plea deals with anyone, but there is little room for compromise when it comes to the charges against Trump.
So far, four co-defendants have reportedly accepted plea deals in the case. On Tuesday, Jenna Ellis became the fourth co-defendant to agree to the deal. She was sentenced to five years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution and write a letter of apology to Georgia citizens.

Earlier this week former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows became the latest co-defendant to agree to testify against Trump.
