18 allies of former President Donald Trump Wednesday night over an alleged “fake electors” scheme from after the 2020 election. Those indicted reportedly include former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, as well as Boris Epshteyn, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman and Christina Bobb.
The names of Giuliani and others remain redacted in the indictment as they have not yet been served their charges. Trump, while not charged, was implicitly referred to as an “unindicted coconspirator” in the indictment. The charges — including felony charges ranging from conspiracy to commit fraud and forgery — allege that the group guided 11 people, who were also indicted, toas Arizona’s electors and submit electoral votes for Trump, despite then-candidate Joe Biden winning the state by 10,457 votes.Discussing the indictment, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said, “Whatever their reasoning was, the plot to violate the law must be answered for, and I was elected to uphold the law of this state.” The charges are the culmination of a year-long investigation into the fake electors scheme in Arizona. It is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Giuliani, who also faces multiple criminal charges related to the 2020 election. An Arizona grand jury has indicted 18 allies of Donald Trump for their efforts to subvert the 2020 election — including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epshteyn. The indictment, which includes felony counts of conspiracy, fraud and forgery, also describes Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator. “Defendants and unindicted coconspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office against the will of Arizona’s voters,” the 58-page indictment reads.Arizona prosecutors indicted 18 Trump allies Wednesday, reportedly charging attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman and Christina Bobb over their efforts to overturn the 2020 election—the latest in a string of lawyers who are facing consequences for their work with former President Donald Trump.Rudy Giuliani: Giuliani, who led Trump’s post-election efforts, was one of the people charged in a indictment filed in Arizona on Wednesday, according to media reports, after already being criminally charged...Photo : Michael M.
