Georgia judge denies motion to overturn guilty plea from former Trump lawyer in election interference case

A Georgia judge has rejected former Trump campaign campaign lawyer Kenneth Chesebro's push to invalidate his guilty plea in the Fulton County election interference case. 

Chesebro was one of 19 defendants charged in the August 2023 indictment accusing former President Trump and others of trying to illegally overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.

Chesebro pleaded guilty in October 2023 to a conspiracy to file false documents charge. He was sentenced under Georgia's First Offender Act, which allows the charge to drop off his record if he successfully completes probation with no violations.
