From NBC News: Kenneth Chesebro, a former legal adviser for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, is now barred from practicing law in New York over his role in a scheme to overturn Trump’s election loss five years ago.
In an order Thursday, a state appeals court in New York said Chesebro’s criminal conduct, namely conspiring to commit filing false documents in connection with efforts to negate Trump’s 2020 defeat in Georgia to Joe Biden, “undercuts the very notion of our constitutional democracy that he, as an attorney, swore an oath to uphold.”
Chesebro was first admitted to practice law in New York in 2007. His disbarment is effective immediately, the order says.
Chesebro was accused of creating fake pro-Trump electors. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit filing false documents.
