A pro-Trump lawyer who more than one year ago now pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit filing false documents, a felony, and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors against Georgia RICO case co-defendants, which includes the former president, has been “convicted of a serious crime” and, for that reason, should have his license to practice in New York “immediately” suspended, a court decided on Thursday.

Chesebro is an attorney who drafted a legal memo contemplating a scenario where then-Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6 could set aside legitimate electoral votes from “contested States” and replace those with “Trump-Pence electors.” That memo was featured prominently in the Jan. 6 Committee’s final report, which highlighted the lawyer’s communications to propel the fake elector scheme forward in Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, and elsewhere.
