An Arizona judge has scheduled a trial date of January 5, 2026, for allies of former President Donald Trump who are charged with a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. The defendants include conservative attorney John Eastman, multiple Arizona Republicans who served as fake electors, and others.
During a recent hearing, some defendants were present in the courtroom, while others, such as former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, joined virtually. The trial date was set following criminal charges brought against the fake electors from Arizona, although Trump himself was not charged in this case.
