WASHINGTON, D.C. (WRN) — Presidential pardons for Wisconsinites implicated in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis allegedly hatched a plan for critical swings states to submit slates of Republican electors to support President Donald Trump. Their names were among 77 on a list posted to social media late Sunday by the U.S. Department of Justice’s pardon attorney.
Several Wisconsin Republicans who served as false electors were also on the list, including former state party chair Andrew Hitt, former party treasurer Kelly Ruh and Bob Spindell, who currently serves on the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
According to a Wisconsin Department of Justice spokesperson, a criminal investigation of Chesebro, Troupis and political operative Michael Roman “remains ongoing.”
