Former Trump Attorneys, Aides Plead Not Guilty to Wisconsin Fake Elector Felony Charges
Three alleged planners face 11 felony forgery charges for directing Wisconsin electors to send Congress false documents saying Trump won.
- On Tuesday, former Trump campaign attorney Jim Troupis, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, and former Trump aide Mike Roman pleaded not guilty to 11 felony forgery charges in Dane County Circuit Court.
- Prosecutors allege the defendants lied to 10 Wisconsin Republicans, guiding them to sign certificates falsely claiming Donald Trump won the state to block Joe Biden's victory certification.
- Seeking to relocate the trial to Jefferson County, defendants argued negative publicity tainted the jury pool, while also challenging the 11 felony counts based on federal pardons issued by Trump.
- This case remains one of the last standing in the mostly failed effort to prosecute Trump and his allies for 2020 election interference, as similar cases in Michigan and Georgia have faltered.
- Trump has issued federal pardons for those involved in the scheme, while Troupis has requested $3.2 million in reimbursement from the administration's proposed $1.8 billion compensation fund.
