Another guilty plea in the election interference case against trump and his people.
Stop The Steal!
Kenneth Chesebro, a key co-defendant in former President Donald Trump's
Georgia election interference case, has taken a last-minute plea deal in which he has agreed to testify in the case.
Chesebro pleaded guilty to a single felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing of false documents and will receive five years' probation and a $5,000 fine, in exchange for agreeing to testify and provide documents and evidence.
Chesebro, an attorney, was facing seven counts after prosecutors said he drafted a strategy to use so-called "alternate electors" to prevent Joe Biden from receiving 270 electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election, according to the Fulton County DA's indictment.
"How do you plead to Count 15, conspiracy to commit filing false documents…?" the prosecutor asked at Chesebro's court appearance in Atlanta Friday.
"Guilty," Chesebro replied.
Before concluding, Chesebro spoke directly to the judge, saying, "I just want to thank you for the way you've handled these proceedings."
Speaking outside the courthouse, Chesebro's attorney described the plea arrangement as "too good to turn down."
"He gets to go home to his family now ... and not spend one day in jail," attorney Scott Grubman said. "He was facing very, very serious charges."
"He's a man of his word," he said of Chesebro. "If he's called, he'll testify."
