Kenneth Chesebro, a defendant in the Georgia election interference case, is seeking to have the indictment against him dismissed based on an alleged paperwork error. Three weeks before the scheduled start of his trial in Fulton County, a defendant in the Georgia election interference case is seeking to have the indictment against him dismissed based on an alleged paperwork error made by one of the lead special prosecutors in the case. Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney who drafted legal memos suggesting the use of so-called "alternate electors" to prevent Joe Biden from receiving 270 electoral votes in the 2020 election , is set to go on trial on Oct. 23.

Twitter posts that amplified those false claims have thousands of shares with no visible enforcement, a review of posts on the platform shows.

That will only grow a...
