#Trump co-defendant and fake electors "architect" Ken #Chesebro's New York law license has been suspended, "effective immediately," following his conviction for a "serious crime."

New security footage from the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot have revealed possible new crimes in Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election results.

Former Trump attorney Kenneth #Chesebro and a Trump campaign staffer, G. Michael #Brown, were caught on camera handing fake elector documents from Washington and Michigan to aides of Republican Representative Mike #Kelly of Pennsylvania on January 5.

The video corroborates what Chesebro admitted in a text message on January 6:
that he dropped off fake elector documents to Kelly’s aides a day prior.

The documents ultimately didn’t get to Vice President Mike Pence,
who was in charge of certifying the election results,
thanks to the Senate parliamentarian refusing to accept the documents from Kelly’s aides.

Bizarrely, after the documents were rejected, the aides wandered the halls on the second floor of the Capitol for a half-hour, waiting for instructions.

It’s bad news for Kelly
—and even worse news for Chesebro,
who is already in trouble in Michigan for his involvement in the fake elector scheme in that state.

Chesebro was charged with felony fraud for his efforts to overturn Wisconsin’s presidential election results in June.

He was 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 scheme there.

He is reportedly also cooperating with prosecutors in Michigan and Wisconsin.

This new set of evidence could lead to new charges,
as it apparently wasn’t previously uncovered by the House January 6 committee, according to journalist Jamie Dupree.

And while Kelly’s role was known, the extent of his involvement in the fake electors plot was not.

Aside from that, however, the footage shows how close Trump’s cronies got to overturning two key states’ elections,
as only the Senate parliamentarian and Vice President Mike Pence stood in their way.

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.
