Kaul, a Democrat, is expected to announce the criminal complaint against the “unappointed electors” case at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

According to documents from a previously settled lawsuit that made public months of texts and emails, attorneys for Trump allegedly planned for alternate electors to file paperwork claiming he won Wisconsin in a bid to subvert Joe Biden‘s 2020 election victory there and in other swing states.
Chesebro and Troupis handed over more than 1,400 pages of documents, emails, messages, photos, and videos showing a detailed layout of the plan’s origins in Wisconsin. The records reveal how the Trump allies allegedly coordinated with Trump campaign officials to replicate the strategy in six other states including Georgia, where Chesebro has already pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the 2020 election. Roman is also a co-defendant in the Georgia case along with the former president.
