Former Trump Attorneys and Aides Plead Not Guilty in Wisconsin Fake Elector Case

A group of former attorneys and aides of Donald Trump, including Kenneth Chesebro, have pleaded not guilty to felony charges related to an alleged scheme to submit fake electors in Wisconsin during the 2020 presidential election. The accused, including lawyer Jim Troupis, argue that they cannot receive a fair trial in Madison. While many prosecutions concerning fake electors have stalled in various states, the case in Wisconsin remains active. The defendants are contesting their involvement in a plan that aimed to overturn the election results, as Trump continues his efforts to dispute the election outcome.
