TL;DR Summary

Georgia prosecutors argue that memos by a key Trump campaign legal adviser, Ken Chesebro, cannot be protected by attorney-client privilege as they were about political strategy, not legal advice. The memos guided efforts to undermine the 2020 election and derail the transfer of power to President Joe Biden. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis contends that the memos should be excluded from Chesebro's upcoming trial because they were not privileged work and were shared with non-lawyers. Willis also argues that the memos could be disclosed under the "crime-fraud" exception to attorney-client privilege. The decision on whether to exclude the memos will have potential repercussions for Trump and other attorneys involved in undermining the election results.
