Arizona's attorney general, a key state in the November election, has 11 local Republicans indicted, and seven from out of state. According to The Washington PostThe seven include Donald Trump's former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorneys Jenna Ellis and John Eastman, campaign adviser Boris Epstein and Donald Trump's former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

Fourth state to file charges

Joe Biden won this southwestern state by a little more than 10,000 votes over the billionaire, but many Republican officials believed there was fraud and that Donald Trump was 'Arizona'. Although Trump lost in this desert state, his representatives signed documents confirming his victory. After Michigan, Georgia and Nevada, Arizona became the fourth state to file charges against those who attempted to create alternative voter registration lists.

Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and John Eastman have previously been indicted in Georgia, making Donald Trump perhaps the most explosive of the four criminal investigations he faces.
