According to a report published by the newspaper The New York Timesthe six-page memo was written by attorney Kenneth Chesebro on December 6, 2020. This document is now part of the third criminal indictment once morest Trump announced last week by special counsel Jack Smith.

that was the plan
Chesebro’s plan consisted of naming fake voters in key states where Republicans were contesting the counts and having them vote for Trump so that Vice President Mike Pence would count them when it was his turn to certify the results, instead of the official votes that were favorable. to Biden.
“It is important that the alternate lists of voters meet and vote on December 14 if we want to create a scenario in which Biden can be prevented from reaching 270 electoral votes, even if Trump has not managed to win court approval by then. or state legislative resolutions that invalidate enough results to push Biden below 270,” Chesebro wrote.
According to prosecutors, the strategy was intended to lead to “a false controversy that would derail Biden’s proper certification as president-elect.”
The New York Times said Chesebro’s strategy implicated lawyers working on the Republican campaign in seven states. They were willing to claim that Trump had won in his states, although in reality the victory had been Biden’s.
Attorney John Eastman, described in the prosecution indictment as Co-Conspirator 2, was also a key figure who defended the scheme and worked alongside Trump in trying to carry it out, it said. Univision.

In his memo, Chesebro indicated that Pence had the power to count presumed Trump voters from a state as long as there was a pending lawsuit challenging Biden’s declared victory.
In addition, he proposed telling the public that Trump constituents might meet in private simply as a precaution in case “the courts (or state legislatures) later conclude that Trump actually won the state.”
“There is no requirement that they meet in public. It might be preferable that they meet in private, to thwart the ability of protesters to disrupt the event,” he wrote in his memo.
Chesebro admits in the memo that his plan would likely be thrown out by the Supreme Court, but adds that it would give more prominence to allegations of voter fraud and “give the Trump campaign more time to win lawsuits that would deprive Biden of electoral votes that he won.” they would add Trump.”
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol cited two other memos written by Chesebro in its final report, but the committee did not appear to obtain the Dec. 6 document. A Trump campaign attorney who testified before the committee said he remembered seeing the document, but claimed he lost access to his emails following leaving his job.
However, the chain CBS News He confirmed that special counsel Jack Smith has almost all of the Trump campaign emails, including documents going in and out. That would be one possible explanation for how prosecutors obtained the December 6 memo.
This memo was separate from the plan put together by John Eastman, the conservative lawyer who argued in a memo of his own that Vice President Mike Pence might intervene in the January 6 vote count. Pence has insisted that he lacked the authority to reject the legitimate votes of the states, recalls CBS.
