In a notable development, Kenneth Chesebro, a former lawyer for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, has seen his New York law license suspended indefinitely. This decision, taken by an appeals court, is tied to Chesebro’s involvement in a conspiracy that aimed to file false documents in the state of Georgia.
