FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — An attorney who was part of the Trump legal team challenging results in Georgia and other states following the 2020 presidential election has been ordered to testify in Fulton County's special grand jury probe of those efforts. The order obtained Tuesday by 11Alive's Joe Henke alleges Kenneth Chesebro is a "necessary and material" witness in Fulton DA Fani Willis' investigation of the Trump team's campaign to overturn Georgia's election results. It focuses on his alleged role in organizing Georgia's slate of "alternate" electors, members of the Georgia Republican Party who met at the state Capitol on December 14, 2020 to submit illegitimate electoral college votes for former President Trump.
