Former President Donald Trump has avoided indictment while numerous individuals face charges in the Arizona fake elector scheme aimed to overturn the 2020 election. Despite being identified as “Unindicted Co-Conspirator 1,” Trump cannot pardon his indicted allies if he wins re-election due to the state nature of the crimes. Former federal prosecutor Ryan Goodman emphasized that the Arizona indictment cannot be quashed or interfered with by Trump if he becomes president. The allegations against Trump’s associates stem from their actions in signing a false certificate claiming to be Arizona’s true electors, contradicting official results that certified Joe Biden’s victory. The indictments include former Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward, who tweeted support for sending the elector choice back to state legislatures after the Capitol siege on January 6, 2021.
