Trump attorney: If USSC feared 'wild chaos on Jan. 6,' chances of hearing last minute case better

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-campaign-attorney-said-supreme-144322388.html

A Trump campaign lawyer said SCOTUS might take up an election case because of possible unrest on January 6.

The lawyer, Kenneth Chesebro, emailed John Eastman about the possibility, per The New York Times.

Chesebro wrote that the odds would be "favorable if the justices start to fear that there will be 'wild' chaos."

A Trump campaign lawyer wrote in emails in late 2020 that the possibility of "wild chaos" on January 6, 2021, could pressure the Supreme Court to take up a case that could overturn the presidential election, The New York Times reported Thursday.

In a December 24, 2020 email exchange between the Trump attorney, Kenneth Chesebro, and conservative lawyer John Eastman, the two discussed the possibility of the Trump campaign getting a last-minute lawsuit challenging the election results in Wisconsin before the Supreme Court.
