Donald Trump co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro takes last-minute plea deal in Georgia election interference case

Kenneth Chesebro, a co-defendant in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case, has taken a last-minute plea deal in the case.
The deal comes after the jury selection process had gotten underway Friday.
Powell, Chesebro, Trump, and 16 others pleaded not guilty in August to all charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state of Georgia.
Chesebro becomes the third defendant in the case to strike a plea agreement. Georgia bail bondsman Scott Hall last month took a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to tampering with voting machine equipment and received probation in exchange for agreeing to testify at the trial of other co-defendants.
