An Arizona grand jury recently indicted 18 Republican supporters of former President Donald Trump for falsely claiming he won the state in the 2020 election. Court documents revealed that prosecutors discussed the possibility of charging Trump himself but ultimately advised against it.
The grand jurors, who heard 18 days of testimony, were informed by a prosecutor about the U.S. Justice Department policy that limits prosecuting someone for the same crime twice. The prosecutor also highlighted uncertainties regarding the evidence available to charge Trump at that time.
