Quick Glance: Giuliani, 17 Others Indicted in Arizona for Fake Elector Scheme; Trump Named Co-Conspirator

Rudy Giuliani, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, is among 18 individuals indicted in Arizona for allegedly illegally attempting to claim the state's 2020 electoral votes for the former US president, with Trump identified as an unindicted co-conspirator.

The indictment in Maricopa County Superior Court lists 11 defendants and redacts the names of seven others. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes stated that these names would be disclosed after serving all defendants with the indictment.

The indictment alleges that the defendants pressured state officials to change election results, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy, carrying potential sentences ranging from six months to over 12 years upon conviction.

Several individuals posing as electors for Trump have been charged in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. The fake elector scheme is also a focal point in the federal case against Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Quick Glance: Contentious Press Conference: Johnson and GOP Lawmakers Heckled at Columbia

A press conference at Columbia University was marked by loud heckling against Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP lawmakers who condemned antisemitism and pro-Palestine demonstrations on the campus.

The GOP lawmakers faced boos from protesters and struggled to be heard as they criticized the treatment of Jewish students on the campus and directly addressed the student demonstrators.

Johnson and his GOP colleagues called for the resignation of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, resulting in loud boos from the audience.

After an Orthodox rabbi advised Jewish students to return home, the university announced a shift to hybrid learning for the remainder of the semester until the situation on and around campus significantly improved.
