TL;DR Summary

Kenneth Chesebro, a former lawyer to Donald Trump, has pleaded guilty to a single felony count of conspiracy to file false documents in an election subversion case in Georgia. Chesebro is the third out of 19 co-defendants to strike a plea deal with prosecutors. He is accused of submitting fake pro-Trump electors in Georgia and other states to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election. This comes after another ex-Trump lawyer, Sidney Powell, also admitted guilt in the case. Chesebro's guilty plea is seen as a significant blow to the defense and a victory for prosecutors as they continue to build their case against Trump, who faces 13 felony counts in total.
