Overview

• Kenneth Chesebro, a former Trump campaign lawyer, is seeking to nullify his October 2023 guilty plea in the Georgia election interference case.
• Chesebro had pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge related to filing false documents, but the charge was later dismissed by a judge citing jurisdictional overreach.
• His attorney claims that upholding the plea would violate Chesebro’s constitutional right to due process, as Georgia cannot prosecute a charge deemed invalid.
• The broader Georgia case, involving 19 defendants including President-elect Trump, accuses them of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
• Legal challenges in the case continue, including disputes over Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ role and Trump’s claim of immunity as president-elect.
