Wisconsin prosecutors have filed 10 additional felony charges against two attorneys and an aide to President-elect Donald Trump. The charges stem from a plan to submit false paperwork claiming that Trump had won the battleground state in 2020. Initially facing a single felony forgery charge, the trio now faces a total of 11 felony charges each, with a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $10,000 fine for each charge.
The charges are related to an attempt to defraud the 10 Republican electors who cast their ballots for Trump in Wisconsin. The state charges are the only ones in Wisconsin, and none of the electors have been charged. The 10 electors, along with the attorneys and aide, settled a lawsuit brought against them in 2023.
