Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes’s case against Trump 2020 Presidential Electors in Arizona will go back to a grand jury after an appeals court sided with a trial court judge’s decision that the indictment must be sent back to a grand jury.
The appeals court declined to even hear her case.
Mayes convened a grand jury in 2024 to indict 18 Trump allies and activists for submitting an alternative slate of electors to Congress after the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump.
However, as The Gateway Pundit reported in May, a judge ruled that state prosecutors improperly presented the case to the grand jury and failed to inform jurors of the Electoral Count Act, which dictates the rules of electoral vote counting and exonerates the defendants.
Previously, Mayes’s case started to crumble after a judge allowed the defendants to argue that the charges were politically motivated.
Not only was the case politically motivated, but it was also coordinated by a left-wing nonprofit, and the indictment had been pre-designed for Mayes a year before she filed charges.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Mayes colluded with former Obama White House ethics counsel Norm Eisen, who also colluded with Democrat Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, and likely the Biden Administration, to persecute Trump supporters and interfere with the 2024 election.
Now, unless Mayes appeals the case to the Arizona Supreme Court, it appears her case is dead.
Per 12 News:
What we know is that the order was signed by Chief Judge Kent Cattani. The court said the decision was based on the judges’ discretion. Back in May, a Maricopa County judge ordered the case to be sent back to a grand jury after attorneys representing the fake electors claimed the prosecutors failed to disclose the full text of the Electoral Count Act to members of the grand jury.
Mayes appealed the lower court’s decision, but that was officially denied on Monday. In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden won Arizona by around 10,000 votes.
And last April, 18 people were indicted by an Arizona grand jury for their alleged efforts to overturn those results. Among those indicted were current and former state senators, two former Trump aides, five lawyers connected to Trump, and Turning Point USA CEO Tyler Bowyer.
Two of the defendants have already resolved their cases, and the others have pleaded not guilty.
This is a developing story.
