Ex-Trump Lawyer Kenneth Chesebro Moves to Invalidate Guilty Plea in Georgia Case

Chesebro argues his plea is unconstitutional after the charge he admitted to was dismissed due to jurisdictional issues.

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.
