Kenneth Chesebro, a lawyer who proposed a plan to submit slates of electors for Donald Trump in closely-contested states won by Joe Biden, has pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case.

Chesebro, Trump and 17 others were charged in a sprawling racketeering case for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election result.

Chesebro pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents. He will be ordered to serve five years probation, pay $5,000 in restitution, complete 100 hours of community service, write a letter of apology to citizens of Georgia and testify truthfully at trial.
