A grand jury in Arizona has handed up an indictment against former US president Donald Trump’s allies over their efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, including the fake electors from that state and several individuals connected to his campaign.
Boris Epshteyn, a former White House aide who remains one of Trump’s closest advisers, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani are among those who have been indicted, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, announced the indictment today, focusing on the 11 individuals who acted as pro-Trump electors in the state.
The names of several other indicted defendants remain redacted, Mayes said in a statement, until those people have been served.
“A state grand jury made up of everyday regular Arizonans has now handed down felony indictments for all 11 Republican electors as well as several others connected to this team,” Mayes said.
