June 26 (Reuters) - A New York appeals court on Thursday disbarred Kenneth Chesebro, a former lawyer for Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign, following his 2023 guilty plea to a charge stemming from efforts to overturn Trump's defeat in Georgia.
Chesebro had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit filing of false documents in Fulton County, Georgia, after prosecutors accused him of crafting the legal strategy behind a scheme to use alternate electors to circumvent Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 victory in the state.
New York's Appellate Division, Third Judicial Department found that Chesebro's conduct "undercuts the very notion of our constitutional democracy that he, as an attorney, swore an oath to uphold." The appeals court indefinitely suspended Chesebro's law license in October 2024.
Chesebro and one of his attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Chesebro has defended his work with the Trump campaign and denied violating New York professional conduct rules.
