"3 Trump operatives charged in Wisconsin for 2020 election gambit"

"Kenneth Chesebro, Jim Troupis and Mike Roman were all charged with forgery for their efforts to assemble fake elector certificates.

Kenneth Chesebro, an architect of Donald Trump’s scheme to subvert the 2020 election, has been charged with felony forgery in Wisconsin, court records show.

Chesebro, who developed a strategy to send false slates of presidential electors — and to use them to stoke a conflict on Jan. 6, 2021 aimed at blocking Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory — was charged alongside Jim Troupis, a 2020 Trump campaign lawyer, and Mike Roman, a former Trump campaign operative.

The 26-page complaint dated June 3 relies primarily on text messages and documents obtained from Chesebro, who interviewed with investigators in December. It accuses the three men of conspiring to send “unappointed” electors to Washington.

Chesebro and Roman were previously identified as alleged Trump co-conspirators in Georgia and Arizona. For Troupis, it’s the first time facing criminal charges connected to the alleged scheme. All three face the same single count of forgery, which stems from their role soliciting and delivering false sets of elector certificates to Congress in December 2020."
