Arizona grand jury indicts Republicans who falsely claimed Trump won state in 2020!

An Arizona grand jury indicted 11 Republicans who falsely declared Trump won the state in 2020, and seven allies of former president Donald Trump.

Kris Mayes, the Democratic attorney general, announced the charges Wednesday, noting that the 11 fake electors were charged with felonies for fraud, forgery and conspiracy.

Beyond the fake electors themselves, high-profile Trump affiliates are charged for aiding in the scheme: Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Christina Bobb and Mike Roman.

Those charged for their roles as false electors include two sitting lawmakers, state senators Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern. Former Arizona Republican party chair Kelli Ward and her husband, Michael Ward, were charged, as was Tyler Bowyer, a Republican national committeeman and Turning Point USA executive. The others charged for the fake electors scheme are: Nancy Cottle, James Lamon, Robert Montgomery, Samuel Moorhead, Lorraine Pellegrino and Gregory Safsten.
