CNN —
Attorney Kenneth Chesebro, the architect of the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot in 2020, pleaded not guilty Friday in the Georgia election subversion case, according to a court filing.
He also waived his right to an arraignment hearing, according to the filing.
Chesebro is facing seven criminal charges, including a violation of Georgia’s RICO act and conspiracy to commit forgery. He denies wrongdoing and his trial is scheduled to begin in late October.
Chesebro, the first Georgia defendant with a scheduled trial date, wants a judge to force Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to speed up the turnover of “discovery” evidence
