Trump co-defendant rejected plea deal that would make him flip on ex-president: report

No deal.

Former President Donald Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro, set to go on trial this month to defend against running interference in the 2020 presidential election -- rejected a plea deal offered in late September from Georgia prosecutors, according to ABC News.

Attorney Kenneth Chesebro, one of the 18 co-defendants charged alongside the 45th president in the Fulton County racketeering case, declined the offer that would have allowed him to dodge prison time.

In return, Chesebro would plea guilty to the top racketeering felony charge, sources told the network, noting that he would have to agree to write a letter of apology.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

He is facing seven counts accusing him of pushing a strategy to use so-called "alternate electors" to stymie then Democratic nominee Joe Biden from reaching 270 electoral votes, according to the indictment.

Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade confirmed in court that a plea deal would be extended to both Chesebro and Powell ahead of trial.

"We'll sit down and kind of put some things together and we'll reach out to defense counsel individually to extend an offer," said the prosecutor to the judge.

Chesebro is said to have helped invent a fake elector scheme, writing a memo to a Trump campaign lawyer that games out how electors for Trump could subvert the electoral vote .

Last month, his attorneys tried and failed to toss the RICO case.

The judge described the defense's argument as a "strained reading" of Georgia law.

Terms of the deal offered the esquire a chance to take advantage of Georgia's first-offender act, which permits first-time offenders of mostly nonviolent crimes to be granted softer punishments.

Had Chesebro accepted the prosecutor's deal, he could have completed probation and his record could have been wiped clean.

Neither Chesebro's attorney nor a Fulton County district attorney's office spokesperson commented when ABC News reached out.

Trials for Chesebro along with co-defendant Sidney Powell, are scheduled to get underway this week with 450 potential jurors set to be considered when selection begins on Friday.
