John Eastman, was arrested, booked, and arraigned Friday in Phoenix over his role in the 2020 election. Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes brought charges and secured indictments in April against him, Arizona’s alternate Republican slate of electors, and a few others, including Rudy Giuliani and Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator.
Eastman, who voluntarily surrendered to arrest, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, fraud, forgery, and related felony charges. The indictment, which was initially released without his name and a few of the others since they had not been served yet, accused him of pressuring the Arizona Legislature to “change the results of the election.”
