In his proffer session with Fulton County, Georgia prosecutors ahead of his plea deal last month, MAGA lawyer Kenny Chesebro tied disgraced former President Trump directly to the fake electors scam, describing a previously unreported meeting in which he had discussed the plot with Trump and shared a briefing memo with him about the slates, the Washington Post reports.
It’s the first time one of the people in the room with Trump admitted to explaining or updating Trump on the plot to assemble and submit fraudulent slates of electors from states Trump knew he lost to upset the tally in the Electoral College on January 6th. The WaPo article does not note the date of the alleged meeting, the timing of which could play into Trump’s motive for tweeting out an order for his followers to assemble in Washington, DC on January 6th in the infamous “Will be wild” post.
Chesebro also admitted to physically carrying the forged slate of electors that came from Wisconsin to Washington, DC. That document ultimately ended up in the hands of dopey Republican Senator Ron Johnson, who tried to shove it into Vice President Mike Pence’s hands on January 6th to further confuse the process.
