Connection between Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro and Alex Jones shows this was one big conspiracy
“Chesebro and Jones” may sound like the name of a bad ‘70s sitcom, but there’s little that’s funny about this fresh evidence that everything that happened on Jan. 6—from the violence of recently convicted Proud Boys to false electors in Georgia—was all part of a single massive scheme.
As CNN reports, analysis of video showing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones leading his followers to the Capitol has revealed an interesting face below a red Trump hat sticking close by Jones’ side. That face belongs to former Donald Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who is currently indicted as a co-conspirator in both the federal conspiracy case handed up by a jury in Washington, D.C., and the RICO indictment from a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia.
This makes Chesebro the first member of Trump’s direct staff known to have been present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. However, it’s certainly not the first connection between Trump and Jones—or Jones’ collection of white supremacist followers.
