"Chesebro's Rejection of Plea Deal Exposed in Georgia Election Interference Trial"

Kenneth Chesebro, one of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case, rejected a plea deal from prosecutors that would have allowed him to avoid prison time by pleading guilty to one felony count of racketeering. The deal included testifying against his codefendants, including Trump, in exchange for probation and a fine. Chesebro is facing seven counts for allegedly drafting a strategy to prevent Joe Biden from receiving 270 electoral votes. His trial, alongside co-defendant Sidney Powell, is set to begin this week after they opted for a speedy trial.
