An attorney for former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign whom prosecutors called the “architect” of a scheme to overturn the Republican’s defeat pleaded guilty in a Georgia courtroom Friday.
Kenneth Chesebro admitted to a single count of felony conspiracy to commit filing false documents just as jury selection in his case was getting underway, becoming the second lawyer linked to the 77-year-old Trump to plead guilty in as many days.
On Thursday, fellow lawyer Sidney Powell admitted to six misdemeanor counts in the sprawling case.
Chesebro was sentenced by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to five years’ probation and 100 hours of community service. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution, write an apology letter to Georgia’s residents and testify at any related future trial in the case — including potentially against Trump.
Chesebro was indicted Aug. 14 on seven counts, including violating the Peach State’s anti-racketeering law, conspiracy to commit forgery, conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, conspiracy to file false documents and conspiracy to impersonate a public officer.
