Donald Trump Fake Elector Scheme: Kenneth Chesebro Hid Damning Tweets From Investigators
Kenneth Chesebro, the mastermind behind Donald Trump's fake electors scheme that was part of his efforts to overthrow the 2020 election results, was revealed to have hidden damning posts on a secret Twitter account from investigators, according to a damning new report.
A damning report from CNN showed that the right-wing lawyer concealed a secret Twitter account from Michigan prosecutors and hid "dozens of damning posts that undercut his statements to investigators about his role in the election subversion scheme."
While being investigated, Chesebro has always denied that he was using Twitter, now known as X. He also denied having any "alternate IDs" when directly asked by Michigan investigators last year. However, the outlet has now linked the Trump co-conspirator to a secret account based on numerous matching details.
CNN stated that it used biographical information regarding his work, family, travels, and investments to link the hidden Twitter account to Kenneth Chesebro. It found that the anonymous account, BadgerPundit, had shown "a keen interest in the Electoral College process and lined up with Chesebro's private activities at the time."
As it turned out, the account does belong to the embattled right-wing lawyer, as his own attorneys confirmed to CNN that the account was his "random stream of consciousness" where he was "spitballing" theories about the election. They insisted that it was "separate from his legal work for Trump's campaign."
"When he was doing volunteer work for the campaign, he was very specific and hunkered-down into being the lawyer that he is, and gave specific kinds of legal advice based on things that he thought were legitimate legal challenges, versus BadgerPundit, who is this other guy over there, just being a goof," admitted Chesebro's attorney, Robert Langford.

Fake Electors in Various States Turning Against Donald Trump in Court
The Donald Trump fake elector scheme was employed in various swing states, such as Georgia, New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, and more. In that scheme, the Trump administration had an "alternate" set of electors held in reserve in case he lost a state.
The then-president would declare himself the winner and have those fake electors vote for him. Those fake elector ballots would then be given to Mike Pence, whom Trump wanted to certify those fake ballots. However, Mike Pence chose the Constitution and foiled Trump's plans.
James Renner, who was charged in connection to the conspiracy as one of Michigan's fake electors, admitted that he never intended to falsely make or alter a public record, according to ABC News.
His case was dismissed by the Michigan AG after he started cooperating in the case. He testified that "The purpose was to present the slate of candidates because we were told that the representatives and senators had the ability to accept our slate of candidates versus the Democrats slate of candidates."
Another Fake Elector for Donald Trump Admits He Was Tricked
Over in Wisconsin, which Joe Biden won, Trump also had fake electors. One of them was Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Andrew Hitt, who spoke with CNN regarding his part in the scheme, admitting, "I worked tirelessly for him. I, you know, day and night."
Trump often singled Hitt out in his rallies but has since turned on the man he used to work for after the 2020 elections. He admitted to voting for the ballots in the state's most liberal districts to be thrown out so Trump would win, as well as being chosen as a fake elector.
"We got specific advice from our lawyers that these documents were meaningless unless a court said they had meaning," he admitted to Cooper. He also stated that he was scared of coming out against Trump as there would be repercussions against his family as well.
