The charges relate to their alleged efforts to undermine President Joe Biden’s election victory in 2020.
A grand jury in the state of Arizona has charged Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyer Rudy Giuliani and 16 others for their alleged roles in trying to overturn the former United States president’s loss in the 2020 election.
The indictment released late on Wednesday by the state attorney general names 11 Republicans who submitted a document to Congress falsely declaring that Trump had won the key state in 2020.
They include the former state party chair, a 2022 US Senate candidate and two sitting state lawmakers. They are charged with nine counts each of conspiracy, fraud and forgery.
The identities of the seven others, including Giuliani and Meadows, were redacted by the attorney general because they had not yet been officially served with the documents, but they were easily identifiable based on their descriptions.
The indictment mentions the chief of staff in 2020, the position Meadows held in the Trump White House at that time.
