A state grand jury in Arizona that charged 18 people in a scheme that sought to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss wanted to indict him, too
FILE — Rudy Giuliani, the onetime personal lawyer to former President Donald Trump, speaks to reporters during the Republican National Convention at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, July 16, 2024. A state grand jury in Arizona that charged 18 people this spring in a scheme that sought to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss wanted to indict him, too, according to court papers released on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
“I have not recommended that in the draft indictment, despite clear indications from you all that there’s an interest in pursuing a charge against him,” the papers quoted the unnamed prosecutor as saying of Trump.When the Arizona case was filed in April, it accused some of Trump’s top allies of conspiring with a group of Republican operatives to create a slate of fake electors who declared he had won the race in Arizona when the actual winner was Joe Biden.
But only one of the cases — filed in Georgia — has formally included him as a defendant. Like the case in Arizona, the other proceedings — in Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin — have identified him only as an unindicted co-conspirator. The federal case in Washington is set to spring back to life next week after eight months in limbo as the judge overseeing it holds a hearing to determine how to apply the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling last month granting Trump broad immunity from criminal prosecution for acts arising from his presidency.
