Trump faces new peril in federal 2020 election case after lawyer pleads guilty

As part of Kenneth Chesebro's plea deal he could incriminate Trump in Georgia, but he could also incriminate him in the federal criminal case

Donald Trump's chances of being convicted in the federal 2020 election subversion case may have increased after his top election lawyer took a plea deal in the 2020 election case in Fulton county and admitted to a felony that the effort to create fake slates of electors was fraudulent.

The immediate consequence of Kenneth Chesebro's plea deal is that he could incriminate the former president in Georgia, given one of his plea conditions involved testifying truthfully against other defendants.
