A former lawyer to Donald Trump has pleaded guilty in an election subversion case in the US state of Georgia.

Kenneth Chesebro is the third of 19 co-defendants to plead guilty in a deal with Fulton County prosecutors.

He is accused of putting forward a slate of fake pro-Trump electors in Georgia and other states to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.

    I hope that the guilty plea prevents him from practicing law in the future.

      I know the process varies from state to state, but generally a criminal, felony conviction may cause you to loose your law license.
