Arizona grand jury has indicted Trump allies for 2020 election interference

TFG and Cheeseboro are unindicted co-conspirators.

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, attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Trump campaign operative Mike Roman.

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.

The names of seven of the defendants, including Meadows, Giuliani and Roman, are redacted, but the document makes clear who they are by describing their roles. Ken Chesebro, an attorney who helped devise Trump’s post-election strategy, is described as “unindicted coconspirator 4.”

The only defendants whose names are visible in the version of the indictment released by the Arizona attorney general’s office Wednesday evening are the 11 Republicans who falsely posed as the state’s presidential electors despite Joe Biden’s narrow victory there. Among them: former Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward, state senators Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern, and Arizona’s RNC committeeman Tyler Bowyer.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, has been helming the aggressive investigation. Though she initially appeared to be focused primarily on the false electors, in recent months she issued a wave of subpoenas to figures in Trump’s national orbit.

This will be fun to watch

Thank you Arizona! You are walking the walk. I only wish it had been Pennsylvania.
But good on you Arizona!

Haven't heard much from her lately -- probably laying low -- and got caught in this. Yea! Will be nice to see her squirm and get convicted. One less loudmouth nut job running around. Hopefully Kari Lake will go away too after her loss in November.

It’s been a WAY long time since people were pouring money all over Giuliani Partners. I think his haul back then was triple-digit millions, on the heels of being dubbed “America’s Mayor” for his leadership after 9/11. Where’d all that money go???
