Arizona Supreme Court Denies Prosecutor Appeal Against Sending Fake Elector Case Back to Grand Jury
Mayes will seek fresh indictments after the court left a two-year-old case against Trump allies unresolved, keeping the election-interference prosecution alive.
- On Thursday, the Arizona Supreme Court denied an appeal by Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes, upholding an order to send the state's fake elector case against President Donald Trump's allies back to a grand jury.
- A lower-court judge in Phoenix ruled in May that the original grand jury lacked information on the 19th-century Electoral Count Act, a law governing presidential contest certification that defense lawyers cited in their arguments.
- The case involves 18 defendants, including two former Trump aides, five lawyers, and 11 Republicans who submitted a document falsely claiming Trump won Arizona, with most pleading not guilty to conspiracy, fraud, and forgery charges.
- Mayes' office confirmed plans to present the entire case to a new grand jury, though attorney Mark L. Williams, representing New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, questioned whether prosecutors would actually proceed.
- Similar cases in Michigan and Georgia have been dismissed, and a dozen defense-filed dismissal requests have slowed progress in Arizona, where related proceedings continue in Nevada and Wisconsin.
