Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has rejected Kenneth Chesebro’s bid to overturn his guilty plea in the Georgia election interference case involving Donald Trump and others. Chesebro, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit filing false documents, claimed his constitutional rights were violated. However, McAfee ruled the motion was procedurally defective and concluded that Chesebro had waited too long to file his request. The case remains complicated for Trump as he awaits potential January swearing in as president amid ongoing appeals regarding the proceedings.
