Former Trump Lawyer Kenneth Chesebro Pleads Guilty in Racketeering Indictment
Chesebro Faces Felony Charge for Role in Fake Elector Scheme
Plea Comes after Co-Defendant James Troupis's Guilty Plea
In a stunning twist, former Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro has become the second lawyer in two days to plead guilty in a criminal racketeering indictment related to the 2020 election. Wisconsin prosecutors charged Chesebro and James Troupis for their alleged role in a fake elector scheme designed to overturn the election results.
Chesebro, who was charged alongside former President Donald Trump and 17 others, pleaded guilty to a felony charge for his involvement in a plan to submit false documents in Georgia in an attempt to overturn the state's 2020 election results. The plea came just one day after Troupis also pleaded guilty to a similar charge.
Chesebro's admission of guilt is a significant development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding the 2020 election. The indictment alleges that Chesebro and other defendants conspired to appoint false electors in seven swing states, including Georgia, in order to challenge the validity of President Biden's victory.
