Trump coup-plotter reportedly lied to prosecutors about secret Twitter account

Attorney Kenneth Chesebro was one of the architects of the Trump campaign’s 2020 fake electors scheme, which he explained in detail in leaked testimony last December. During his testimony before Michigan investigators, Chesebro insisted that he did not use Twitter and did not have any alternative handles on the platform, now known as X. However, a CNN investigation has turned up a Twitter account that appears to be connected to Chesebro. That account also pushed aspects of the coup plot that Chesebro denied promoting.

Chesebro has already faced charges in Georgia under the racketeering indictment connected with his role in the plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In October, Chesebro pleaded guilty to a single felony charge of conspiracy, in exchange for a fine, probation, and a written apology. 

However, the Georgia indictment also involved Chesebro’s actions in other states, including Michigan. If CNN is correct in its assessment, this lie could potentially affect Chesebro’s deal in Georgia as well as future charges in other states.
