[World] Second Trump lawyer pleads guilty to conspiracy

A former lawyer to Donald Trump has pleaded guilty in an election subversion case in the US state of Georgia.

Kenneth Chesebro is the third of 18 co-defendants to plead guilty in a deal with Fulton County prosecutors.

He is accused of putting forward a slate of fake pro-Trump electors in Georgia and other states to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.

Mr Trump has also been charged in the case. He has pleaded not guilty.

Chesebro’s plea deal comes a day after another ex-Trump lawyer, Sidney Powell, also admitted guilt in the case.

Another co-defendant, bail bondsman Scott Hall, struck a plea deal with prosecutors in late September.
