US EditionEx-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro disbarred in New York
- Kenneth Chesebro, who previously served as a lawyer for Donald Trump's 2020 campaign, had his license to practice law revoked by a New York appeals court due to his involvement in a scheme aimed at overturning the election results in Georgia.

- Chesebro’s disbarment aligns with penalties for other Trump allies like Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, reflecting ongoing legal consequences from efforts to subvert the 2020 election in Georgia.
