Trump Lawyers Used ‘Fog of Deceit’ in Fake Electors Plot: Legal Analyst
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump used a “fog of deceit” in their fake electors plot in Wisconsin during the 2020 election, a legal analyst said on Tuesday.
While appearing on CNN’s News Central, Jeremy Saland, a criminal defense attorney in New York, spoke about the recent release of text messages between two former Trump attorneys, Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis, where they spoke about alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Wisconsin.
Speaking about one text where Chesebro used the term “cloud of confusion” Saland said, “it’s more like a fog of deceit.”
“He has this real intention of saying ‘we’re going to sort of throw a wrench…not sort of, we, in fact are going to try and throw a wrench in the system,'” Saland said. “‘We in fact are going to try and make this confusion so we can seize control and overturn that election.'”
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
