Her justice Arizona indicted 18 people for attempting to sway the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in his favor Donald Trumpthe attorney general of this US state announced today.
Among these 18 persons is Rudy GiulianiTrump’s former personal lawyer and former mayor of New York, his spokesman Ted Goodman confirmed.
The indictment alleges a conspiracy to give the state’s electors to Trump, although Biden won Arizona in 2020 by a narrow margin.
The defendants allegedly lobbied the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, the Arizona House of Representatives and the Arizona Senate, as well as then-Gov. Doug Ducey to change the outcome of the election.
The attorney general of Arizona, a key state for this year’s presidential election, said charges have been filed against 11 local Republican officials — who said they were Trump voters — as well as seven other people from out of state.
According to Washington Postthose seven individuals include Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyers Gina Ellis and John Eastman, Republican campaign adviser Boris Epstein, as well as Giuliani.
Trump has not been charged, but is named in the indictment as one of the conspirators.
Biden won this southwestern state by a little more than 10,000 votes over Trump, but many Republican party officials have spoken, without presenting evidence, of fraud.
Despite Trump’s defeat in Arizonahis representatives signed documents certifying his victory.
