TL;DR Summary

Kenneth Chesebro, a lawyer charged in Georgia for his involvement in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump, has pleaded guilty and accepted a plea deal. This comes after Sidney Powell, another Trump-aligned lawyer in the case, also pleaded guilty. Chesebro's plea adds momentum to the prosecution's case, as he, Powell, and another co-defendant have agreed to testify against the remaining defendants. Chesebro pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit filing of false documents and was sentenced to five years' probation, with the possibility of reducing it to three years. The guilty pleas do not bode well for Trump and the other co-defendants, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, who are set to be tried later.
