Chesebro Lied About Running Secret Twitter Account

CNN reports:

Kenneth Chesebro, the right-wing attorney who helped devise the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot in 2020, concealed a secret Twitter account from Michigan prosecutors, hiding dozens of damning posts that undercut his statements to investigators about his role in the election subversion scheme.

Chesebro denied using Twitter, now known as the platform X, or having any “alternate IDs” when directly asked by Michigan investigators last year during his cooperation session, according to recordings of his interview obtained by CNN.

The anonymous account, BadgerPundit, also showed a keen interest in the Electoral College process and lined up with Chesebro’s private activities at the time.

As a fellow Wisconsinite, I followed Badger Pundit and he followed me. Then I muted him because he was an obnoxious pro-insurrectionist. I didn’t realize I was connected with Kenneth Chesebro. https://t.co/72fTYkQ9Dc

Chesebro told MI prosecutors GOP electors were a contingency to be used only if Trump won election suits. Said it was “ridiculous” that legislatures could step in if Trump lost in court.
