Show he was pushing extreme election Subversion Strategies that could now put him in brave league goal peril. Were talking about Kenneth Chesebro chesebro was the rightwing attorney who helped devise the fake electors plot. The scheme to a appoint fake president ial electors that republican legislatures would then use to overturn the actual results of the 2020 popular vote in key states. Chesebro has already pleaded guilty to a crime in the Georgia Election subversion case, and he cooperated with prosecutors and other states so that he could avoid additional charges. Lets get more details from cnns Marshall Cohen who is breaking the story with kfile. Marshall, tell us about these tweets and could chesebro be at legal risk for seemingly hiding them . Jake, he could listen when you cooperate, you need to tell the truth and cnns kfile team uncovered a secret twitter that cheseboro concealed from prosecutors in michigan. There are dozens of tweets from 2020 that undercut what he later told prosecutors about his role in the scheme now, weve also obtained the audio of chesebros michigan interview so you can hear it for yourself. When he was asked directly if he used social media, if he had a twitter, he said, no, listen to this do you have any social Media Presence facebook i mean, no. I for whatever. I mean, before yeah alternate ids that youre using for that kind of stuff no. I mean, i dont i dont do any tweeting now, may maybe he had good reason to hide those tweets because they reveal that even before the 2020 election, cheseboro promoted a far more aggressive fake electoral strategy than he later led on. So heres one example. Jake, ill play for you what he told the prosecutors and then ill show you the contradictory tweet he repeatedly told investigators that the fake electors were purely a contingency to be used only if trump won any of his election lawsuits. Heres what he told the prosecutors. Listen to this so eastman, he had this idea of the state legislatures could somehow be effective in overturning the courts, which was ridiculous. I wanted conditional language isnt all the states, right suggested three times to Trump Campaign and seventwelfths that they make it conditional on winning litigation okay. So look at this from cheseboro as anonymous twitter account called bajaur pundit, literally on the day that trump lost he wrote that trump doesnt have to get courts to declare him the winner. He just needs to convince republican legislatures that the election was systematically rigged. Its the tweet right here. You can see it on your screen. Hes totally dismissing the role of the courts embracing the strategy that you just heard him call ridiculous. Jake. This is just one of many examples where his tweets and his testimony, they dont line up is there any reaction today from the michigan prosecutors to this news . And how chesebros lawyers defending what seem clear contradictions. Well, i want to be clear that cheseboro hasnt been charged with any crimes in michigans, but the experts told us that this could put him in more legal jeopardy. The Michigan Attorney general already charged the fake electors in that state last year. They have an Ongoing Investigation and their office told us that they are interested in these new revelations about the twitter. And they will be quote, looking into the matter now, jake, we also spoke to chesbros attorneys they confirm that the secret account does belong to him, and they acknowledged that there are some inconsistencies here. They have now gone back to the states where he cooperated and told investigators all about the tweets. But theyre also drawing a distinction between ken cheseboro, this serious lawyer and Badger Pundit, the on line persona. This is what his attorney, Robert Lankford told us about his client, cheseboro, quote, when he was doing Volunteer Work for the campaign, he was very specific and hunker down into being the lawyer that he is and gave specific legal advice based on things that he thought were legitimate legal challenges versus Badger Pundit. Who this guy over there just being a goof. Thats their defense, jake, he was just being a gu calling him an other guy over there. Its the same guy and cnns Marshall Cohen. Thanks for that story. Lets bring in cnn senior legal analyst elie honig. Elie on one level. I mean, i suppose like the guys an election liar, then people should expect them to lie about other things too. But do you think Kenneth Chesebro is an even more legal jeopardy than he was before potentially. And might this have an impact on his agreement to cooperate in the Georgia Election subversion case well, jake yes, absolutely. Kenneth chesebro is facing more legal jeopardy now, and he is not and never has been a viable cooperator for prosecutors in georgia. Now, first of all, as to his new statements, he has apparently provided misleading at best, outright false at worst, information to michigan investigators, to georgia investigators, and two other investigators around the country that defense we just saw from his lawyer is utterly nonsensical. It doesnt get him out of the fact that he provided them incomplete and perhaps incorrect information. But the other thing to keep in mind is as long as Kenneth Chesebro is out there giving two different stories, not fully embracing what he did not admitting what he did. He is not a viable cooperator for the Fulton County da. They gave Kenneth Chesebro a softball deal. They let him plead out to probation. And the reason they gave us well, hes cooperating know he is not he has not come clean. He is it failed cooperator. Thats a blackeye for the georgia District Attorney as well. What do you make of the contradiction in just the basic question, do you have social media where he seemed to say no . And then obviously now his lawyers are admitting that Badger Pundit was him yeah. Marshall and the kfile team pulled the exact right piece of tape there. Theres no ambiguity to that and to prosecutors credit, they dont just ask him where you tweeting. They asked him straight up. Did you have some sort of alter ego or burner account . Where were you tweeting under any other name . And he says, no, thats the lie. Thats the contradiction, and thats where he could be in trouble today, manhattan District Attorney alvin bragg, this isnt the hush money case. Asked for a gag order in the case. This week, Donald Trumps accused of falsifying Business Records to cover up the payments to Stormy Daniels trial set to begin march 20. What would that gag order cover potentially . So it sounds like what the da has proposed here is really a fairly narrow gag order that actually almost exactly mirrors the federal gag order. What this would do if adopted by the judges prevent donald trump from Making Statements that could interfere with or influence the jurors, the witnesses, the courtroom staff, and the prosecutor staff, other than the da himself. I actually im not a fan of gag orders. I never used to seek them when i was a prosecutor, but i think in this case, its appropriately narrow. It still allows donald trump to publicly criticize the case against them. You can say this is a bogus case. He can say, im not guilty. He can even say the da has bad motives here. So i think what the gag order sets aside is narrow and theyre trumps team is also asking that trumps former fixer, Michael Cohen, who facilitated those payments to Stormy Daniels on behalf of trump, be barred from testifying. Can they do that . Can the trump team barr Michael Cohen from testifying . No, that is a ridiculous request. They have to know that if you have a witness who you think is impeachable has lied or will lie. The answer is he gets to take the stand if one party chooses to call him and then the other party gets to crossexamine him vigorously, and then it is up to the jury to decide whether they believe or disbelieve that witness. There is no such such thing as a judge saying, i dont believe this witness. I think hes going to lie, therefore, hes off the stand. The da is going to call Michael Cohen. They will assume all the risks that comes with that. But its up to the jury, not a judge. All right. Elie honig, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Lets go to the 2024 lead, and lets cue the music yes the race for 2024 has moved to the critical Battleground State of michigan. This is the first Battleground State primary or caucus. Lets bring in cnns eva mckend, qizan, grand rapids, following the Haley Campaigns, it kristen holmes, of course, covers the Trump Campaign for us. Kristen trump is well on his way to the republican nomination. Of course but he has been unable to win over a substantial block of republican voters. Its a minority, but its still a big chunk. A huge chunk. I mean, donald trump on Saturday Night said that the Republican Party had never been so united, but our exit polls told a different story in South Carolina. And the one i want to point to in particular, showed that 31 of the South Carolina voters would be happy if donald trump was the nominee. That is a huge block there. So the question for his team is, how do you fix that . Is that possible going into a general election which we believe he will be the nominee up against joe biden. Now, part of that is that they believe overall that some of these conservatives and conservative leaning independents well start going to donald trump if the option is just donald trump or joe biden, but thats not everybody. The other part of this is what we saw them do back in iowa. This is very strategic. What they are going to do in several of these states is trying to build up the data that they have from the last several years to expand the maga electorate. That means focusing on people who are our conservative rightleaning, who maybe dont know that much about donald trump, who have supported him in the past, have donated in the past, but never voted for him. Thats going to be part of their strategy there. We also know they really want to turn to that general election because of this. They know they need to build up their infrastructure, particularly in those critical groundstate Battleground States. And thats what they want to turn there. Her attention to. So eva mckend in South Carolina saturday, the split was 60 , trump, 40 haley, roughly, this is how haley tried to spin a 20 point deficit in her home state. Take a listen. Im going to count it i know 40 is not 50 but i also know 40 is not some tiny group how is the Haley Campaign trying to set expectations for michigan, the republican primary and the results tomorrow night well, jake, by not setting expectations at all, in fact, they are raising the bar for former president donald trump. She told us today that right now she is raising every red flag possible and she argues that trump in all of these early contests is not winning by a mandate that hes not getting above 90 the percent and what the last few weeks have actually illustrated is that he is going to have a lot of problems in a general election with independent and moderate voters an eva, the Koch Brothers have announced theyre going to stop trying to support haley in her president ial quest, given that news, how much longer can she have on the campaign . In trail you know, you need money to run for president. She says shes going to stay in until super tuesday, which is i think a week from tomorrow. Might that be her last stand . Well, its unclear at this stage, jake, listen, shes got ten fundraisers coming up and her team says, after South Carolina, that they actually raised 1 million and a lot of that money came from people donating under 200, but its not clear what upcoming state she can actually when i put that question to her, listen to what she told me we have 21 states and territories that are getting ready to happen. Why dont we . You wait and see what happens. If we dont have to have a crystal ball and say, this is going to happen or thats going to happen. We dont live in russia we dont anoint kings. We have elections, let people vote. Can you name a single state . You can liken name that 70 of americans dont want donald trump or joe biden now. For her part, haley already on to minnesota this evening where she is continuing to make her case to voters. And when i was speaking to voters here today, in michigan, jake, they told me that that shes glad that shes still in this contest, that they dont believe that she should be bullied out and they are hoping for some sort of miracle for something maybe with trumps legal cases to happen, for her to ultimately become viable once and for all jake.
