Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Arizona Republican Pleads Guilty in Trump Fake Electors Case

HeadlineAug 08, 2024

Back in the U.S., an Arizona Republican involved in the 2020 “fake elector” scheme pleaded guilty and became the first person to be convicted in the state’s wide-ranging case. Loraine Pellegrino, who signed a document falsely claiming Donald Trump had won Arizona in 2020, was sentenced to unsupervised probation. Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows have also been charged in Arizona’s fake elector case. Court papers released this week show the Arizona grand jury, that indicted 18 Trump allies in the case, also wanted to indict Trump but were advised against the move by state prosecutors.
