Kaul adds 10 felony counts to criminal case against GOP attorneys in false elector case
Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed 10 additional felony charges against two Republican attorneys behind the false elector scheme aimed at overturning the 2020 presidential election.
The new charges allege longtime Wisconsin GOP attorney Jim Troupis, Kenneth Chesebro and 2020 Donald Trump campaign official Mike Roman defrauded Republicans who cast alternate electoral ballots for Trump.
The amended complaint builds on a criminal case filed in June alleging Troupis, Chesebro and Roman forged paperwork signed by 10 Republicans posing as presidential electors in December 2020 claiming President-elect Donald Trump won Wisconsin, even though he narrowly lost.
The 10 additional felony charges allege the three men lied to the Wisconsin Republicans who met at the state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020 about how the certificate they signed would be used.
