Disgraced Election Expert Faces New Legal Troubles in Nevada: A disgraced former lawyer and self-proclaimed election expert, Ken Chesebro, is under investigation in multiple states for lying and perjury related to election interference. Despite making a deal for immunity in Nevada, new reporting suggests he may have lied during his testimony.
Ken Chesebro, a disgraced former lawyer and self-proclaimed election expert for Donald Trump, has found himself in legal hot water yet again. Despite being indicted in Georgia, under investigation in Michigan for lying and perjury, and having pled guilty to election interference, Chesebro's legal troubles don't end there. He's now in trouble in Nevada for allegedly lying to the grand jury during a trial involving fake electors. Chesebro, who has a history of inconsistent statements, made a deal with Nevada prosecutors to testify truthfully in exchange for immunity. However, it appears that he may have lied during this testimony, as new reporting suggests that his statements don't match up with his past statements and emails. Chesebro's defense has been that he only intended for "alternate elector certificates" to be used in certain circumstances, but it seems that they were used before that, leading to potential legal consequences.
Lawyer's Advice on Fake Elector Certificates Ignored: A lawyer involved in Trump's election challenge advised against using fake elector certificates without warning labels, but his client disregarded this advice. The lawyer's conflicting statements have raised questions about his role in the attempts to overturn the election results.
Kent Hespero, a lawyer involved in Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the election results, advised against using fake elector certificates with warning labels, stating that litigation was necessary first. However, his client, Mike Roman, disregarded this advice and collected the certificates without warning labels. Hespero's inconsistent statements regarding the use of these certificates, as evidenced in emails and social media, have come under scrutiny. New reporting suggests that Hespero may have purged himself before the grand jury in Nevada, stating that litigation was required for the certificates to be used, but emails contradict this statement. Hespero's role and inconsistent statements add to the ongoing investigations into Trump's attempts to overturn the election results.
Trump campaign's attempts to bypass constitutional procedures during 2020 election: The Trump campaign tried to influence electoral vote count with fake elector certificates, pressuring VP Pence to disregard certified votes. Adhering to election laws and deadlines is crucial to ensure legitimate votes are counted.
During the 2020 presidential election, the Trump campaign attempted to bypass constitutional procedures to influence the electoral vote count. This was done through the use of "fake elector certificates" in states like Nevada, despite losing the state or having ongoing litigation. The goal was to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to disregard the certified electoral votes and count those from the Trump campaign instead. This is an example of the lengths some went to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. Another crucial point is the importance of adhering to election laws and deadlines, as failure to do so can prevent the legitimate electoral votes from being counted.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of honesty and transparency, especially during legal proceedings.
Trump campaign's alternate elector plan during 2020 election: Trump campaign considered deploying alternate electors and lobbying state legislatures, despite ongoing litigation and legal advice against it. Importance of truthfulness under oath was also emphasized after Trump's CFO was indicted for lying.
During the 2020 presidential election contest, the Trump campaign had reportedly made plans to deploy alternate electors and lobby state legislatures to back these slates if they believed they had a chance to win in certain states. This was despite the Trump campaign being aware of ongoing litigation and being advised multiple times by Rudy Giuliani to make any electoral actions conditional on the outcome of that litigation. Additionally, the importance of truthfulness under oath was emphasized, as a recent case involving Donald Trump's longtime CFO, Alan Weisselberg, demonstrates. Weisselberg was indicted for lying in a civil case, and later pled guilty to two counts of felonies, highlighting the potential consequences of perjury.
Lying in Legal Proceedings: Serious Consequences: Lying during legal proceedings can lead to perjury charges, loss of bar license, and serious consequences. Honesty is crucial.
Lying to investigators or making false statements under oath, especially during legal proceedings or as part of a plea or proffer deal, can have serious consequences. This was emphasized in a discussion regarding a witness, Kent Jezbro, who lied about bribes involving Hunter and President Joe Biden. His lies could lead to perjury charges in multiple states and potential loss of bar license. The importance of truthfulness and honesty in legal proceedings cannot be overstated. Additionally, the mention of Jezbro's association with the Jan 6th Capitol incident and Alex Jones further highlights the significance of trustworthiness and adherence to the law.
