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.
