Former Trump Lawyer And Architect Of Fake Elector Scheme Disbarred In New York
HuffPost
Kenneth Chesebro pleaded guilty in 2024 to a conspiracy charge for his attempt to overturn President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss.
Kenneth Chesebro, a former campaign lawyer for President Donald Trump who was convicted for his role in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, has been disbarred in New York.
A panel of judges on New York’s appellate court ruled Thursday that Chesebro should be disbarred for the “serious crime” he committed when he attempted to subvert Georgia’s 2020 election results for Trump.
“On that basis alone, respondent’s conduct brings into question his integrity and fitness to continue engaging in the practice of law in New York,” the decision said.
Chesebro was charged in 2023 along with Trump and 17 others for attempting to overturn Trump’s loss in Georgia. An investigation found Chesebro was the main architect in a plot to swap out legitimate electoral certificates in seven states, including Georgia, with fraudulent ones that would declare Trump the winner.
Chesebro pleaded guilty last year to a single conspiracy count after reaching a deal with prosecutors before he was about to go to trial.
