Kenneth #Chesebro got smacked with a ♦️felony fraud charge ♦️by #Wisconsin prosecutors on Tuesday.
Largely considered🔸 the architect of the fake electors plot to flip the 2020 election to Trump, 🔸
Chesebro was charged alongside
Michael #Roman, 🔸head of Trump’s 2020 Election Day operations, 🔸
and fellow Trump lawyer
James #Troupis.All were charged with one count of #forgery in the case brought by Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Paul, according to court records.
The statute listed for the Trump trio’s charges,
💥“forgery-uttering,” 💥is a Class H felony in Wisconsin,
essentially defined as touting bogus official statements or fake legal documents or public records as true while knowing they’re fraudulent.Chesebro, as part of the fake elector scheme,
attempted to send fake certified elector documents
—which falsely claimed Wisconsin and Michigan electors chose Trump
—to Washington, D.C., ahead of 2020’s presidential electoral certification process.The plot was spoiled when the documents infamously got stuck in the mail,
leading to a last-minute scramble by the schemers to get the phony paperwork into the hands of then–Vice President Mike Pence
in time to certify election results on January 6, 2021.
Chesebro is also named as a
co-conspirator in Georgia’s fake elector charges,
where he is cooperating with the state and has pleaded guilty to planning the goofily villainous scheme.
Chesebro is reportedly also cooperating with prosecutors in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Tuesday’s charges are a first for Troupis and Roman, who join the vaunted ranks of at least a dozen other Trump lawyers and toadies who conspired to submit fake electors to certify the 2020 election for Trump.
Troupis and Chesebro are also being sued by Biden electors in Wisconsin for the plot,
where 10 other Republican electors settled a lawsuit in December 2023 forcing them to admit Biden won the 2020 election.

Communications between #Chesebro & a top #Trump campaign lawyer in Wisconsin, Jim #Troupis, show that Chesebro argued just days after the Nov 3, 2020 election that creating a “cloud of confusion” by submitting dueling slates of electors would be enough to keep Joe #Biden from becoming president.

“#Chesebro soon began doing #legal work for #national #Republicans…, joining #Troupis as #counsel for Sens #MikeLee of UT & #TedCruz of TX & others on an amicus brief in the fall of 2018 that backed the UT #GOP in its efforts to assert greater #control over the selection of party nominees.
“He also became a GOP #donor, first that fall to candidates running for federal office in #Wisconsin & then, starting in 2020, to numerous national Republicans. He contributed $2,800 to #Trump’s reelection…. -
“#Eastman, who would go on to advise #Trump after the 2020 election… was also #indicted Mon in #Georgia.
“#Chesebro worked again w/a Claremont Inst affiliate in ‘18, on a #Wisconsin case that involved a poli-sci prof who argued he was improperly suspended after criticizing a grad student on his #conservative blog. The case became a fault line in vexed debates over campus #speech. Also involved was #Troupis, the WI #lawyer & fmr county judge who would… represent the #Trump campaign in the state.

“…friends said his politics seemed to shift after he reaped sizable returns from his investments in cryptocurrency in the past half-decade. He began to stake out more-#libertarian positions in #legal briefs, especially in his home state of #Wisconsin, where he started donating to #Republicans & working w/ a fmr judge, Jim #Troupis, who #Chesebro would later testify under oath had brought him into #Trump’s orbit.
