Georgia judge rejects Trump campaign lawyer attempt to invalidate guilty plea

The Georgia judge overseeing the state's election interference case against President-elect Trump and several allies on Friday rejected ex-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro's attempt to invalidate his guilty plea in an election interference case.

Chesebro was initially charged alongside Trump and 17 other co-conspirators for his efforts to keep Trump in power after he lost the White House in 2020. The attorney reached a plea deal with prosecutors last year on the eve of his trial, set to be the first defendant to face a jury.
