Trump campaign legal adviser Kenneth Chesebro turned down a plea offer from the Fulton County district attorney's office in its 2020 election interference case, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News on Thursday. Chesebro, a lawyer who's charged with helping create a 'strategy for disrupting and delaying the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021,' is scheduled to stand trial this week.
In return, Chesebro would have been sentenced to three years of probation and eligible to expunge his record when it was completed, assuming he did not violate any of the terms of his probation. An attorney for Chesebro and the district attorney's both declined to comment. Jury selection for Chesebro's trial is set to begin on Friday.
