The recent plea deals taken by Trump allies Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro in the Fulton County, Georgia, election interference case may not have eliminated their chances of seeing prison time down the line, according to legal analyst Glenn Kirschner.
Powell, a lawyer who was prominent in aiding former President Donald Trump's various efforts to contest the 2020 presidential election results, and Chesebro, a lawyer credited by some as the architect of Trump's "stolen electors" plot, are the most recent co-conspirators to accept plea deals from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, following one from Atlanta-based bail bondsman Scott Hall. As part of the deal, the pair will avoid prison in the case and will agree to testify truthfully in future trials, making them valuable assets for prosecutors looking for information about Trump and the other co-conspirators.
