The latest indictment against former President Donald Trump focuses less on what happened the day of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and more on a series of battleground states where his co-conspirators allegedly"pushed officials to ignore the popular vote."
The fake electors plan started in Wisconsin, according to the indictment, which includes a memorandum from who is believed to be Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney who is not named but whose identity matches the description of"Co-Conspirator 5" in the indictment. Once the plan was revised to include six additional states, Trump and attorney John Eastman, who is believed to be the second co-conspirator, asked Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to help the Trump campaign recruit electors in the named states.
But prosecutors said that court victories were not part of the plan come Dec. 13, when Chesebro wrote in an email that the strategy"was not to use the fraudulent electors only in the circumstance that the Defendant’s litigation was successful in one of the targeted states.” Rather, he wrote,"The plan was to falsely present the fraudulent slates as an alternative to the legitimate slates at Congress’s certification proceeding.
Prosecutors alleged Trump attempted to spur a"fake controversy" surrounding the submissions in the days before Jan. 6, which coincided with his growing pressure on then-Vice President Mike Pence to urge using the unsanctioned certificates to justify delaying certification of the election during the joint session of Congress.
