Trump Campaign Lawyer Testifies in Nevada Fake Electors Case to Avoid Prosecution

Kenneth Chesebro's testimony leads to indictments of six Nevada Republicans; trial set for March.

Kenneth Chesebro, the lawyer who helped orchestrate the Trump campaign’s fake elector scheme in 2020, was a target in a criminal investigation in Nevada.
Chesebro's name was removed from the indictment in exchange for his cooperation with authorities, according to newly released transcripts of secret grand jury proceedings in Las Vegas.
Chesebro testified about the plot that led to the indictments of six Nevada Republicans, who attempted to keep then-President Donald Trump in power by sending a phony electoral certificate to the National Archives.
Chesebro also has a plea agreement with prosecutors in Georgia, where he was charged alongside Trump and 17 others with participating in efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss in Georgia.
All six fake electors in Nevada pleaded not guilty and their trial is scheduled for March.
