Kenneth Chesebro, the right-wing attorney who helped devise the Trump campaigns fake electors plot in 2020, concealed a secret Twitter account from Michigan prosecutors, hiding dozens of damning posts that undercut his statements to investigators about his role in the election subversion scheme
Chesebro denied using Twitter, now known as the platform X, or having any alternate IDs when directly asked by Michigan investigators last year during his cooperation session, according to recordings of his interview obtained by CNN.
But CNN linked Chesebro to the secret account based on numerous matching details including biographical information regarding his work, family, travels and investments. The anonymous account, BadgerPundit, also showed a keen interest in the Electoral College process and lined up with Chesebros private activities at the time.
The Twitter posts reveal that even before the 2020 election, and then just two days after polls closed, Chesebro promoted a far more aggressive election subversion strategy than he later let on in his Michigan interview.
Chesebros lawyers confirmed to CNN that the BadgerPundit account belonged to Chesebro, describing it as his random stream of consciousness where he was spitballing theories about the election but insisted that it was separate from his legal work for Trumps campaign.
When he was doing volunteer work for the campaign, he was very specific and hunkered-down into being the lawyer that he is, and gave specific kinds of legal advice based on things that he thought were legitimate legal challenges, versus BadgerPundit, who is this other guy over there, just being a goof, said Robert Langford, an attorney for Chesebro.
