A lawyer working with former President Donald Trump’s campaign pitched the now-infamous plan to install slates of fake electors in swing states as “bold,” “controversial” and likely to be rejected by the Supreme Court, according to his memo. AdvertisementChesebro — identified as Co-Conspirator 5 in the government’s case against Trump — was a key architect of the effort to install the fake electors. The plan did not move ahead after Pence refused to go along with the plot. But the existence of the memo demonstrates the extreme measures that Trump’s team pursued to subvert Biden’s victory and keep Trump in power. Prosecutors are still collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses in the case, even though charges have been filed against Trump.
