Former President Donald Trump faces two parallel attempts to hold him accountable for attempting to overturn the 2020 election's results. By choosing to indict Trump alone, and none of his unnamed co-conspirators, special counsel Jack Smith and his team have taken a top-down approach to the scheme. In contrast, Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis in Georgia opted to charge Trump alongside 18 other defendants and has been racking up plea deals as some former accomplices agree to become witnesses for the prosecution.
Kenneth Cheseboro, a lawyer who helped initiate the so-called "fake electors" plot, is one of those former allies who has been cooperating not just in Georgia but in other states as well. A recent report from CNN on his attempts to prevent further charges reminds us that there are still more ongoing attempts in the states to bring the election plotters to justice. And as those cases work their way through the system, Trump will find himself in more and more of a bind as the already ample evidence against him only increases.
