一份2020年12月新披露的备忘录为时任总统的努力提供了新的视角唐纳德·特朗普的特朗普在2020年大选中输给乔·拜登后，让他继续掌权的法律团队。
由律师肯尼斯·切塞布罗(Kenneth Chesebro)撰写的2020年12月6日的备忘录提出了一项计划，旨在追查所谓的“备用”选举人名单，以防止拜登积累270张选举人票。
这份备忘录是由美国广播公司新闻获得的，在8月1日被提及四项指控特朗普是“欺诈性的选举人备忘录”
法宝不服罪上周，他被指控通过招募针对几个州的所谓“假选举人”来实施“犯罪计划”，以推翻2020年的选举结果;利用司法部进行“虚假选举犯罪调查”;并试图争取副总统“改变选举结果”——所有这些都是为了颠覆民主和继续掌权。
他否认所有不当行为，并驳斥特别顾问杰克·史密斯的调查是出于政治动机。
检察官表示，切塞布罗正在与特朗普的法律团队合作，寻找挑战选举结果的方法，以使特朗普继续执政。
《纽约时报》首先获得了12月6日的备忘录，该备忘录倡导六个有争议的州的特朗普选举人会面、投票并提交他们的证书，以便在1月6日的投票认证期间进行统计，这些州包括亚利桑那州、佐治亚州、密歇根州、内华达州、宾夕法尼亚州和威斯康星州。
检察官将这份备忘录描述为一项计划，即“尽可能模仿拜登合法选民的行为，并在1月6日，副总统打开并计算欺诈性的选票，设置一个虚假的争议，这将破坏拜登作为当选总统的正确认证。”
这份备忘录建议发起一项宣传活动，将该计划作为一项“常规措施”，同时也承认这是一项“大胆、有争议的战略，有许多原因说明它可能不会在1月6日最终执行。”
切塞布罗的律师没有立即回应美国广播公司的置评请求。
Newly revealed memo details efforts to keep Trump in power following election loss
A newly revealed memo from December 2020 offers new insight into efforts by then-PresidentDonald Trump'slegal team to keep Trump in power following his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
The Dec. 6, 2020, memo, authored by attorney Kenneth Chesebro, lays out a plan to pursue slates of supposedly "alternate" electors in order to prevent Biden from amassing 270 electoral votes.
The memo, which was obtained by ABC News, was referred to in the Aug. 1four-count indictmentof Trump as the "Fraudulent Elector Memo."
undefined
Trumppleaded not guiltylast week to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors" targeting several states; using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations"; and trying to enlist the vice president to "alter the election results" -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and remain in power.
He has denied all wrongdoing and dismissed special counsel Jack Smith's probe as politically motivated.
Prosecutors say Chesebro was working with the Trump legal team to find ways to challenge the outcome of the election in order to keep Trump in office.
The Dec. 6 memo, which was first obtained by The New York Times, advocates for Trump electors in six contested states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, to meet, vote and send in their certificates to be counted during the certification of the vote on Jan. 6.
Prosecutors describe the memo as a plan to "mimic as best as possible the actions of the legitimate Biden electors, and that on January 6, the Vice President open and count the fraudulent votes, setting up a fake controversy that would derail the proper certification of Biden as president-elect."
The memo recommends launching a messaging effort that presents the plan as a "routine measure," while also acknowledging it is a "bold, controversial strategy, and that there are many reasons why it might not end up being executed on January 6."
A lawyer for Chesebro did not immediately respond to an ABC News request for comment.
