Nicholas Klingerman, assistant attorney general for the Arizona attorney general’s criminal division, cited a rule about prosecuting someone for the same crime twice as well as a lack of evidence. A spokesperson for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The motion filed this week was Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes’s response to assertions by many of the 18 defendants that the investigation was politically motivated.
Prosecutors, for instance, asked jurors to not indict more than two dozen Republicans - including state lawmakers - who signed a document dated Dec. 14, 2020, that falsely purported to represent an official resolution of the state legislature, the motion said. Ellis, who was a legal adviser to Trump’s 2020 campaign and spread false information about the legitimacy of the outcome, was among those charged. She reached a cooperation deal with the attorney general on Monday that allowed her to avoid potential jail time and nine felony charges in exchange for her full cooperation and testimony.
