Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, Former Trump Lawyers, Plead Guilty in Georgia Election Case

Former Trump lawyers Powell and Chesebro will testify as witnesses in the Georgia election interference case, after pleading guilty to reduced charges, ramping up legal pressure on Trump.

• Former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro have pleaded guilty to reduced charges in the Georgia election interference case and have agreed to testify as witnesses.
• Powell's guilty plea relates to her role in a secret effort to access and copy election software in Georgia post the 2020 election. She has been turned into a valuable asset for the government in their bid to convict Trump.
• The legal pressure on Trump intensifies as more of his co-defendants plead guilty. Aside from Powell and Chesebro, bail bondsman Scott Hall also pleaded guilty last month.
• Chesebro's guilty plea of conspiring to file false documents could undermine a possible Trump defense in two cases since he entered into a conspiracy directly with Trump and has agreed to turn state's evidence.
• Both Chesebro and Powell have been identified as co-conspirators in a federal election case filed against Trump, presenting potential legal threats to the former president in multiple ongoing investigations.
