The Wisconsin Department of Justice charged two of President-elect Donald Trump‘s lawyers and a former aide with ten additional felony charges on Tuesday for their alleged roles in Wisconsin’s “fake electors” scheme surrounding the 2020 presidential election.
The two attorneys, Jim Troupis and Kenneth Chesebro, and the aide who directed Election Day operations in 2020, Mike Roman, all initially faced one felony forgery charge in the state that was filed in June.
Now, each man faces ten more felony charges, being accused of defrauding the ten presidential electors who cast votes for Trump. The charges come two days before the men are scheduled for their initial court appearances in Dane County Circuit Court.
