Former Trump lawyer and adviser Kenneth Chesebro filed a motion Monday to defend his actions in the "fake elector" scheme, arguing that the supposed Republican electors he helped convene in Georgia after the 2020 election were in fact "duly elected and certified" to vote for Donald Trump.
Chesebro, who was allegedly a central figure in the plan to send fake electors to Congress from states Trump had lost, filed a "motion to quash" just a few weeks before his case goes to trial. He argued that the court should dismiss two charges against him, including conspiring to commit false statements and writings as part of the fake elector scheme.
