In all, there are nine criminal counts, Richie Taylor, a spokesperson for the attorney general’s office, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.
George Terwilliger, an attorney for Meadows, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the AP. He previously called the Arizona prosecution a “flagrantly political and partisan prosecution that will be contested and defeated.”
Arizona is now the fourth state where allies of the former president have been charged with using false or unsubstantiated claims about the election to cast doubt on the results. Joe Biden won the presidential election in Arizona by more than 10,000 votes.
Charges have yet to be made public against one defendant, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and Trump-aligned attorney.
Trump himself has not been charged but is referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator.
The 11 Arizona Republicans who submitted a document to Congress falsely stating that Trump had won the state are among the 18 defendants in the case. They include a former state GOP chairwoman, a 2022 U.S. Senate candidate and two sitting state legislators.
The 11 people appointed to be Arizona’s electors for Trump met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were the “duly elected and qualified” electors and falsely asserting that Trump had won the state.
A minute-long video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was disregarded.
The others are Mike Roman, who was Trump’s Election Day operations director, and four lawyers accused of helping to organize an effort to use bogus documents to persuade Congress not to certify Biden’s victory: John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn and Jenna Ellis.
