Lawyer Kenneth Chesebro was slated to be the first of those indicted along with former President Donald Trump for challenging the 2020 elections to go to trial. On Oct. 20, he pleaded guilty in a plea bargain.

He was originally charged with seven felony crimes. The bargain included nulling six of those counts and charged him only for count 15 of the indictment, conspiracy to commit filing false documents, which carries a minimum sentence of one year and a maximum of five years.
