Trump Attorney Says He Told Trump About Fake Elector Plot – The Messenger
Former Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro said he had briefed former President Donald Trump on Arizona election challenges and a plan to send "alternate electors" to vote for Trump in the Electoral College following the 2020 election, even though President Joe Biden won the state.
The Washington Post obtained video of Chesebro's statement to the prosecution, along with those of Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Scott Hall. Ellis testified that a top Trump aide told her he didn't care the legal challenges to the election were failing and that "we're not going to leave."
Chesebro also admitted to having participated in a plan to get Wisconsin's fake electors' signed documents to Vice President Mike Pence while Congress was ratifying the election.
Chesebro pleaded guilty to the lesser felony charge of conspiring to file false documents in exchange for cooperating with the prosecution.
