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.
…
“Cheese bro?” You can’t make this shit up.
I thought that was what we call people from Wisconsin?
You know… Californians, New Yorkers, Texans… cheese bros…?
Veggie bros, pizza bros, cow bros, cheese bros.
I think it’s his street name, like Cheese in The Wire.
His nickname from college is “the cheese”, for real
A third co-defendant, bail bondsman Scott Hall, struck a plea deal with prosecutors in late September.
Was this also a guilty plea or what?
Edit: Yep.
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.
I’m sure the election deniers will change their minds now.
Cheeto Benito is gonna need to switch to brown pants
His full name being Cheeto Benito Mango Mussolini.
I’d listen to that rap album.
CHEEESE BROO!!!
I wonder if this guy watched the last season of Better Call Saul with a growing sense of dread.
I understand if he did. I also watched with dread noting that each episode brought me closer to the last episode ever :(
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
Chesebro’s plea deal comes a day after another ex-Trump lawyer, Sidney Powell, admitted guilt in the case.
Specifically, it is alleged he wrote a memo that provided instructions for how such electors in states including Georgia should proceed to meet and cast votes for Mr Trump.
His guilty plea can be seen as a victory for Fulton County prosecutors as they continue to build their case against Mr Trump, said Atlanta lawyer Rachel Kaufman.
"Chesebro pleading guilty and agreeing to testify truthfully against his co-defendants is the biggest blow yet to any defence they’ve been building.
In total, the former president faces 13 felony counts - including racketeering - for allegedly pressuring state officials to reverse results in the presidential election.
