Georgia's Republican Governor Says Trump Shouldn't Get Presidential Immunity: 'No one is above the law'

Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp pushed back on former President Donald Trump's argument that he should be granted legal immunity for his actions while he was in the White House—even those related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

"My personal opinion is, no one is above the law," Kemp said in an interview with ABC News.

Georgia was one of the focal points of Trump and his allies’ attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump claimed that there were voting irregularities in the state and told GOP state leaders to “find” enough votes for him to win the election. He consistently failed to produce any evidence to support these claims.  When they declined to alter the election outcome, Kemp and other leaders who upheld the election results withstood continued attacks from Trump and his allies. 

"You know, I've continued to talk about following the law and the Constitution and that's what I'm going to continue to do in the great state of Georgia," Kemp added in the same ABC News interview.

Kemp’s comments come as Trump faces at least 88 criminal charges in 4 different  trials, including the Washington D.C. election interference case, where his claims of immunity are currently before the Supreme Court.
