Wisconsin Elector Forgery Trial Moves Forward

Three key figures from Donald Trump’s 2020 Wisconsin campaign—former judge Jim Troupis, election operations director Mike Roman, and legal adviser Ken Chesebro—have pleaded not guilty to felony forgery charges for allegedly submitting fake elector documents to overturn the election. Prosecutors say they deceived ten Republican electors who didn’t realize their signatures would be used without court approval, while the defendants argue they were merely preserving legal options. The case, brought by Wisconsin’s Democratic AG Josh Kaul, is moving forward while similar efforts in other states stall. Troupis and Roman seek to move trial out of Dane County over jury bias concerns, and all three are pushing for Trump pardons to apply to state charges—though Chesebro already received one. The judge will soon hear motions on venue and pardon defenses, while none of the electors face charges in Wisconsin. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
