Recently disclosed audio recordings featuring former Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro have brought to light a convoluted narrative, hinting at additional individuals potentially implicated in the 2020 election fraud scheme. Legal expert Joyce Vance, in an analysis of CNN’s comprehensive investigation on Saturday, December 30, 2023, dissected the revelations, shedding light on a web of actions surrounding the fraudulent elector ballots prior to January 6, 2021.
Vance’s examination of the new evidence uncovered a convoluted sequence of events, with some individuals allegedly cooperating with state or federal prosecutors. Importantly, Vance underscored that such cooperation did not absolve Chesebro of culpability.
The investigation hinted at the involvement of individuals who managed to evade indictment in Fulton County but may still bear some responsibility. One individual singled out in Vance’s analysis was Matthew Morgan, a lawyer associated with Vice President Pence’s office. The report suggested deeper involvement by Morgan than previously indicated, challenging his claim of distancing himself from the fake electors plan by mid-December 2020.

Contradicting Morgan’s assertions, released emails and Chesebro’s testimony painted a different picture, indicating his continued involvement until at least January 4, 2021.
Describing the intricacies uncovered in the investigation as “a tangled web,” Vance emphasized the potential for further revelations, especially if the case proceeds to trial. While Trump remains the primary defendant in Washington, D.C., Vance highlighted that the broader range of defendants in Georgia does not encompass all individuals who played roles, significant or minor, in attempting to subvert a lawful election.
“We’re likely to learn more about the extent of involvement when this case potentially goes to trial,” commented Vance on her Substack.
The revelations from the audio recordings and additional evidence could provide deeper insights, underscoring the significance of individuals beyond those currently identified as defendants. The information gleaned from the CNN report and Vance’s analysis points to the intricate and expansive nature of the election fraud scheme.
As the investigation unfolds and legal proceedings continue, the potential involvement of multiple individuals, beyond those indicted or under scrutiny, underscores the complexity of unraveling the events leading up to the January 6 Capitol riot and the efforts to overturn a democratically conducted election.
