Arizona judge sets 2026 trial date for pro-Trump "fake electors"
SalonAllies of former President Donald Trump who tried to subvert the 2020 election results in Arizona will go to trial in Jan. 2026, a judge announced at a hearing on Monday, CNN reported. In April, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 Republicans, including Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows and lawyer Rudy Giuliani, on charges including fraud, forgery and tampering with public records, among other charges. Though scheduled for 2026, Arizona state Judge Bruce Cohen said Monday that the actual trial date is a “moving target” and could be changed in the future. In court filings, Trump is described as “unindicted co-conspirator 1.” Michigan, Georgia and Nevada have also pursued charges against Trump allies involved in 2020 election subversion efforts.
