A hearing in the felony case against a key figure in Wisconsin’s false electors scheme will proceed Monday — even as allies of President Donald Trump have ramped up pressure to stall the proceeding.

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, a Trump ally, asked the U.S. Department of Justice to review the case against Jim Troupis, an attorney who faces 11 counts of felony forgery tied to his role as Trump’s Wisconsin campaign lawyer in 2020.

Troupis is alleged to have worked with Trump campaign attorney Ken Chesebro and campaign aide Mike Roman to develop and implement the false electors plot, where Republican electors from key swing states gathered in 2020 and signed official-looking documentation asserting Trump’s victory in states that he had lost.
