Democratic Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul on Tuesday charged three Trump allies with felony forgery related to the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

Two attorneys, Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis, along with former aide Mike Roman,\u00a0face<\/a>\u00a0one count each of forgery related to their role in attempting to submit alternate elector certificates to Congress stating former President Donald Trump, rather than President Joe Biden, won the 2020 election in the state. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers\u00a0shared<\/a>\u00a0a one word statement on X in response to the charges: \u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Chesebro and Roman were also indicted in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis\u2019 racketeering case in Georgia.<\/p>\n

\"\"Chesebro took<\/a>\u00a0a plea deal in October, pleading guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents. Roman\u2019s attorney filed the January\u00a0motion<\/a>\u00a0to disqualify Willis containing explosive allegations that she benefited financially from appointing Nathan Wade to work on the case while they were engaged in a romantic relationship.<\/p>\n

Chesebro, Troupis and Roman will appear at the Dane County Circuit Court on Sept. 19,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin is the fifth state to charge Trump allies for similar \u201cfake elector\u201d plans during the 2020 election. Other states where charges have been filed include\u00a0Arizona<\/a>,\u00a0Nevada<\/a>,\u00a0Michigan<\/a>\u00a0and Georgia.<\/p>\n

Roman was among 18 individuals indicted in April by a grand jury in Arizona. Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said those individuals were charged for trying to \u201cundermine the will\u201d of 2020 election voters in the state.<\/p>\n

Sixteen Republicans were\u00a0charged<\/a>\u00a0in Michigan and six were\u00a0indicted<\/a>\u00a0in Nevada.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
