Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony charges against attorneys Jim Troupis and Kenneth Chesebro, as well as former Donald Trump campaign aide Michael Roman, stemming from the false electors scheme in Wisconsin, reports WisPolitics. Kaul charged the three on Tuesday. Each has an initial appearance scheduled for Sept. 19.
Kaul has faced criticism for the pace of his investigation into the scheme. Troupis, of Cross Plains, Wis., and Chesebro, who lists a San Juan address in court records, were part of the legal team that advised Wisconsin’s 10 GOP electors to meet and cast their votes for Trump even though Joe Biden won the state in 2020. Republicans have argued that move was made to preserve Trump’s legal options as he challenged the results.
Roman was indicted alongside Trump in the Georgia election interference case and has been connected to probes into other states where similar schemes were carried out.
