"Revealed: New Details on Trump Lawyers' Strategy in Fake Electors Plot"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by CNN

Text messages and emails revealed that right-wing attorney Kenneth Chesebro continued proposing ways to overturn the 2020 presidential election, including the fake electors plot, even after the Capitol attack. The materials, disclosed as part of a lawsuit, show Chesebro's push for the electors plot regardless of lawsuit outcomes, contradicting his recent testimony. The texts also reveal communication between Chesebro and a Trump lawyer about the plan, including sending a memo to the White House. Chesebro's lawyer declined to comment, and Chesebro and his attorneys maintain that his legal work for the Trump campaign was done in good faith.

Trump and Chesebro Plead Not Guilty in Georgia Election Case

Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNN

Kenneth Chesebro, the attorney behind the fake electors plot in the 2020 election, has pleaded not guilty in the Georgia election subversion case. He is facing seven criminal charges, including violating Georgia's RICO act and conspiracy to commit forgery. Chesebro wants the court to expedite the turnover of "discovery" evidence ahead of his trial, scheduled for late October. Fulton County prosecutors aim to try the case with all 19 defendants in October, while some defendants seek separate trials or a move to federal court. Former President Donald Trump opposes a speedy trial.
