Chesebro asks court to suppress use of emails in Trump Georgia election case – By Kevin Breuninger (CNBC) / Sept 21, 2023
- Kenneth Chesebro asked a judge to bar evidence obtained in a search of his email account from being used in the Georgia election case against him and former President Donald Trump.
- Chesebro, a pro-Trump lawyer, argued that the search warrant used to obtain emails from his MSN account ahead of his criminal indictment “is defective.”
- Chesebro and Sidney Powell, another pro-Trump attorney, are set to head to trial next month in their cases, which were severed from those of their 17 co-defendants.
Lawyers for a co-defendant of former President Donald Trump in their Georgia criminal election interference case asked a judge Thursday to bar the use of evidence obtained in a search of his email account.
Attorneys for Kenneth Chesebro, a pro-Trump lawyer, argued the search warrant used to obtain emails from his MSN email account ahead of his indictment “is defective” and the search and seizure of the emails was “illegal.”
In their Fulton County Superior Court filing, Chesebro’s attorneys said Georgia rules only allow the use of search warrants where there is probable cause to believe that the evidence sought would otherwise be deleted.
