Giuliani and 17 Others Indicted in Arizona Over 2020 Election Fraud Attempts
May 19, 2024Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and 17 others, including Trump's ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows, indicted by Arizona officials for election fraud involvement.
Giuliani faces charges of conspiracy, fraud, and forgery, making Arizona the fourth state where Trump's allies face voter fraud charges.
Giuliani is also involved in legal proceedings in Georgia.
Defendants include Arizona Republicans who falsely claimed Trump won the state; key strategist Eastman pleads not guilty.
Giuliani's legal troubles extend to a $148 million defamation lawsuit and an ongoing bankruptcy case.
Trump has been referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Arizona case.
Despite challenges, Giuliani remains defiant and confident in his vindication, with a court appearance set for Tuesday.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes emphasized that 'Nobody is above the law.'
