Wisconsin on Tuesday became one of several critical swing states to have charged a group of Donald Trump’s allies with participating in the “fake elector” scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Wisconsin’s Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony forgery charges against Kenneth Chesebro, Jim Troupis, and Mike Roman. Chesebro, a former attorney for Trump’s 2020 election campaign, is considered one of the masterminds behind the fake elector scheme to undermine the Electoral College by submitting alternative, pro-Trump slates of electors. In October, Chesebro accepted a...

Paul McCartney and John Lennon were on decidedly bad terms after The Beatles broke up. McCartney sued his bandmates to take control of their catalog from their manager, Allen Klein. The other three Beatles resented him for this, and their interactions following the split were chilly. After a phone argument with Lennon, McCartney made a mistake that only made things worse.
Paul McCartney made an uncomfortable mistake after a fight with John Lennon
As the former members of The Beatles worked their way through the lawsuit, Lennon made it clear to them that he wanted indemnity. He reportedly had over $1 million in personal debts and wanted protection. McCartney spoke to his lawyer, John Eastman, then called Lennon to tell him he could have indemnity.
The conversation began friendly enough, but when McCartney began to talk about business, Lennon’s mood soured.
“John said, ‘F***ing indemnity. F***ing this, f***ing that.

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has launched a self-branded coffee line amid spiral legal woes and costs. The new brand seems to be an effort to raise money for his ever-growing list of creditors.
“By supporting Rudy Coffee, you’re not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee, you’re also supporting our cause – the cause of truth, justice, and American democracy,” Giuliani said in the video.
On Tuesday, the former mayor and several other state Republican leaders pleaded not guilty to charges of allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Arizona.
Giuliani, who was ordered to post a $10,000 bond, was served with the summons on Friday at his 80th birthday celebration in Palm Beach, Florida after Arizona prosecutors had spent weeks trying to track him down. The former mayor claimed he had not been hiding from the authorities and cited security concerns and threats he had received.

John Eastman, formerly an attorney for Donald Trump, claimed he was dropped by two banks, Bank of America and Usaa, in several months due to his association with the former president and role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
So-called “de-banking” is a phenomenon in which financial institutions deny services to targets of political activism, usually conservatives.
These actions were taken amid intense backlash against his work advising Trump in the 2020 election, in which he promoted false claims of election rigging that lacked evidence and any legal basis.
Eastman claimed that he had shifted most of his banking activities to Usaa, a financial services provider dedicated exclusively to military veterans and their families, due to his dissatisfaction with Bank of America’s “wokeness.” Both institutions are federally insured, and Bank of America received billions of dollars in taxpayer funds during the global financial crisis.

A California Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland ruled that conservative attorney John Eastman, one of the co-conspirators in former President Donald Trump‘s plan to overturn the 2020 election, should be disbarred.
Eastman testified before the State Bar of California in June 2023 in a proceeding aimed to strip him of his license to practice law in the state.
He was one of Trump’s lawyers in 2020 and played a large role in helping him try to overturn the results of that year’s election, which the former president falsely claims was “stolen” by Joe Biden and Democratic officials.
He also devised a plan involving former Vice President Mike Pence invalidating the 2020 results during a joint session of Congress which had convened to count the electoral votes.
For months, a federal grand jury in Washington met in secret and heard testimony from witnesses, including Pence. He allegedly told the jury that he...

Former Vice President Mike Pence reportedly considered former President Donald Trump‘s advice to skip the electoral certification of the presidential election, which he presided over in January 2021 and certified the 2020 election.
In February, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office issued a subpoena to Pence, which prompted the former vice president to participate in interviews where he revealed information from handwritten notes he had taken.
In Pence’s notes taken in December 2020, before the January 6 Capitol riot, he had written, “Not feeling like I should attend electoral count,” because of “too many questions, too many doubts.” He wrote it would be “too hurtful to my friend. Therefore I’m not going to participate in certification of election.”
On Christmas Eve of 2020, Pence made a notation that suggested he would step aside and allow the Senate’s President Pro Tempore, Trump loyalist Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), to assume his position for the electoral certification process.

In the days and hours before the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, diehard Donald Trump allies gathered at Washington’s Willard Hotel, hunkered down as the last-ditch efforts to overturn the 2020 election went forward. What exactly they were doing in those meetings was a subject of intense interest for Congress’ Jan. 6 investigation, but the committee ran into the limits of its powers as it struggled to reconstruct the specifics of those eleventh-hour meetings.

In the late 1960s, The Beatles struggled to manage themselves after the death of Brian Epstein, so they hired Allen Klein. The decision caused a rift between the band members that led, at least partly, to their break up. Klein continued to manage John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr after the split, but they ultimately ended their business relationships. In the years after he stopped working with The Beatles, here’s what happened to Klein.

In 1967, the band’s longtime manager, Epstein, died of an overdose. They struggled to manage without him and, on Mick Jagger’s recommendation, decided to hire Klein, who had been managing The Rolling Stones.

John Eastman, an ally of Donald Trump who authored a memo outlining how to overturn the 2020 election, is trying to shield approximately 11,000 documents from the Jan. 6 committee, citing privileges through his work as an attorney.
Politico reported on Monday that Eastman in a court filing said he has reviewed about half of the more than 94,000 emails the committee subpoenaed from Eastman’s former employer, Chapman University. Of these, about 8,000 are in the hands of the committee, while about 27,000 were deemed irrelevant to the subpoena. The rest, Eastman claims, are for his eyes only.
