Kenneth Chesebro
Kenneth John Chesebro (/ˈtʃɛzbroʊ/ CHEZ-broh; born June 5, 1961) is an American attorney known as the architect of the Trump fake electors plot that conspired to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
On August 14, 2023, Chesebro was indicted along with eighteen others in the Georgia election racketeering prosecution. On October 20, he pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents. As part of his plea bargain, Chesebro accepted five years of probation, $5,000 in restitution, 100 hours of community service, and agreed to testify against Donald Trump and the remaining defendants.
On June 26, 2025, Chesebro was disbarred from legal practice in New York.
On September 25, 2025, Chesebro was suspended from legal practice in Washington, DC.
Kenneth Chesebro was born in 1961 and raised in Wisconsin Rapids, about 100 miles north of Madison, Wisconsin. His father, Donald Chesebro, was a U.S. Army veteran and music teacher and his mother was a speech therapist.
In high school and college, Chesebro was a competitive debater. He graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in communication, economics, and politics in 1983. He then attended Harvard Law School, where he served as an editor of the Harvard Law Review and was classmates with Elena Kagan and Jeffrey Toobin, earning his Juris Doctor (J.D.) in 1986. During law school, Chesebro, Kagan, and Ron Klain were research assistants for Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe.
After law school, Chesebro was a law clerk to U.S. district judge Gerhard Gesell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia from 1986 to 1987. Gesell was known as a liberal jurist who presided over high-profile cases including the Nixon administration's case involving the Pentagon papers, where he ruled in favor of the Washington Post.
In 1987, Chesebro opened his own law firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For at least the next 13 years he continued to do occasional work with Laurence Tribe, including working on Bush v. Gore in support of Vice President Gore. In 2023, Tribe said that Chesebro was "obviously bright and seemingly decent." Tribe also stated that "even though we used to be friends, I really think he should never again be allowed to practice law."
