'A tangled web': Legal expert says new audio of Trump lawyer points to more defendants

New audio recordings released by CNN revealed that ex-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro had lots of grievances with the ex-president's campaign, but it also points to potentially new defendants, according to an ex-prosecutor.

Joyce Vance did an in-depth dive on the new evidence from CNN, which put together a timeline of what happened to fake elector ballots before Jan. 6, 2021. The article the outlet put out included some already reported information, as well as new audio recordings, former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance said on Friday.

"None of this makes sense," Vance wrote while walking through the new evidence.

"It suggests some of the folks he worked with, who avoided indictment in Fulton County, may have some culpability—we’ll get to that," Vance wrote. "Several of them have reportedly spoken with either federal or state prosecutors, or both and remained silent since, possibly suggesting cooperation in the real sense of that term. But none of this is exculpatory for Chesebro."

One individual whom Vance highlights is Matthew Morgan, a lawyer who joined Vice President Pence’s office in 2017, she says.

"Morgan seems to have been more involved that he encouraged the January 6 committee to believe," the article states. "Although he told them thathe became uncomfortable with the fake electors plan by mid-December and that he separated himself from the plan at that point so that he had 'zero' responsibility for it, this email and Chesebro’s testimony suggest that wasn’t exactly the case. Morgan was in the thick of things at least until January 4, 2021."
