A judge in Maricopa County, Arizona, has recused himself from presiding over a case involving fake electors after an email surfaced revealing his stance on defending Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. In the email, the judge expressed regret for not speaking out against derogatory remarks made about Harris and emphasized the importance of standing up against unfair treatment of women.
The case involves Republican state Sen. Jake Hoffman and 10 other individuals who submitted false documents to Congress claiming that then-President Donald Trump won Arizona in the 2020 election. The defendants, including former Trump aides and lawyers connected to Trump, face charges of forgery, fraud, and conspiracy.
