Overview

• A New York Appellate Division panel ordered that Chesebro’s name be stricken from the roll of attorneys effective immediately, barring him from any legal practice in the state.
• Disbarment stems from his 2023 guilty plea in Georgia to one felony count of conspiracy to file false documents as part of an effort to overturn the 2020 election.
• Judges wrote that his role in orchestrating forged electoral slates undercut the constitutional democracy he swore to uphold.
• Chesebro remains under indictment in Wisconsin for his involvement in the scheme and is cooperating with a separate probe in Arizona.
• His removal follows similar disciplinary actions against Trump-allied lawyers such as Rudy Giuliani’s disbarment and Jenna Ellis’s suspension in Colorado.
