MADISON, WI (AP)— Felony forgery charges have been filed in Wisconsin against two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had won the battleground state in 2020.

The charges were filed Tuesday against Trump attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis and former Trump aide Mike Roman.

Authorities said Roman delivered Wisconsin’s fake elector paperwork to a Pennsylvania congressman’s staffer in order to get them to then-Vice President Mike Pence on January 6, 2021.

All three are due in court in September.
