On April 24, a Maricopa County grand jury indicted 18 individuals for their alleged involvement in the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Arizona. Among those indicted are 11 individuals who allegedly acted as “fake electors” to cast fraudulent votes for former President Donald Trump—each of whom were charged with one count of conspiracy, one count of fraudulent schemes and artifices, one count of fraudulent schemes and practices, and six counts of forgery. 

While the names of the remaining seven defendants remain redacted, reporting suggests that among the indicted are Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Christina Bob, Boris Epshteyn, and Mike Roman.

What’s more, Trump is referred to in the indictment as “Unindicted Coconspirator 1.”
