The former president was not charged but was named as an unindicted conspirator, according to the Washington Post.
The US state of Arizona has charged 18 people in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, the state’s attorney general said on Wednesday (April 24). The charges allege a conspiracy to award electoral votes* to Donald Trump in this state that Joe Biden narrowly won in 2020. The former president was not charged but was named as an unindicted conspirator, according to THE. Washington Post.
The attorney general of Arizona, a key state in the November election, said the indictments included 11 local Republicans, as well as seven others from outside the state. According to Washington Postthese seven include Donald Trump’s former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, lawyers Jenna Ellis and John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn’s campaign adviser, as well as Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer.
Fourth state to file charges
Joe Biden won this southwestern state with a little more than 10,000 votes ahead of the billionaire but many officials of the Republican Party considered, without proof, that there was a fraud and that ‘Arizona’ had won for Donald Trump . Despite the fact that Trump lost in this deserted state, his representatives nevertheless signed documents declaring his victory. After Michigan, Georgia and Nevada, Arizona is the fourth state to bring charges against people who tried to form another voter list.
Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and John Eastman have all previously been indicted in Georgia, along with Donald Trump in the most explosive of the four criminal trials he faces. These new indictments come as Donald Trump is again a candidate for the White House against President Joe Biden and continues to baselessly assert that he will win in 2020.
*Since the presidential election is indirect in the United States, voters vote for electors, who nominate the president.
