The newly revealed document shows us how the fake elector scheme evolved.

Former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election has brought a lot of national attention to a previously unknown lawyer: Kenneth Chesebro, christened “Co-Conspirator 5” in special counsel Jack Smith’s federal indictment on Aug. 1. Amid the swarm of bold-faced public figures who have dominated the public narrative around Jan. 6 — not only Trump but Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman — Chesebro has stayed mostly under the radar. But this week we have seen, for the first time, the text of a shocking Dec. 6, 2020, memo — first published by The New York Times — that is at the heart of the alleged crimes. It gives new prominence to Chesebro and exposes critical new details of the allegedly criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election.
