Is WIS AG Considering Fake Electors Charges Against Trump And Rojo?
In June, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul announced that his office had filed criminal charges against former Felon Trump attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis and former Trump aide Mike Roman. On Sunday, he did an interview with Matt Smith of the Wisconsin-based show UpFront and gave an update on the case:
SMITH: You charged three former allies of former president Donald Trump including Jim Troupis, Kenneth Chesebro with felonies related to 2020 and the fake electors scheme. You said in June that the investigation was still open and more charges may be possible. Are we going to see more charges in this case?
KAUL: The investigation remains ongoing as you said there are three people who've been charged, and the criminal process is moving forward. There's a court date set for later this year and there will be other court dates as the case moves forward. But we're committed to developing the facts as fully as possible, gathering the evidence, and making assessments based on the facts and the law. So, that's how we're going to continue proceeding. It's how we have proceeded to this point and, again, our commitment to ensuring that our elections are safe and secure but also free and fair is absolute. And we're going to continue working to do that whatever circumstances arise, and we're going to respond based on the facts.
SMITH: Have you ruled out charging former president Donald Trump?
