Eleven Republicans have been indicted by a grand jury in Arizona and charged with conspiracy, fraud and forgery for falsely claiming that former President Trump had won the state in 2020 over then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden. 

“I will not allow American democracy to be undermined,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a Wednesday video announcing the indictments over the “fake elector scheme.” 

She added, “The investigators and attorneys assigned to this case took the time to thoroughly piece together the details of the events that began nearly four years ago. They followed the facts where they led, and I’m very proud of the work they’ve done today.” 

She added that the co-conspirators were “unwilling to accept” that Arizonans voted for President Biden in an election that was “free and fair” and “schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency.”

The defendants include former chair of the Arizona Republican Party Kelli Ward, sitting state Sens. Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern and an unindicted co-conspirator described as “a former president of the United States who spread false claims of election fraud following the 2020 election,” a clear reference to Trump.

In December 2020, the defendants wrote on a certificate sent to Congress that they were “duly elected and qualified” electors for Trump, claiming he had won the state.

Some outlets reported that former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and  Rudy Giuliani and were also unindicted co-conspirators along with Trump.

George Terwilliger, a lawyer representing Meadows, told Fox News he had not yet seen the indictment.

“If Mr. Meadows is named in this indictment; it is a blatantly political and politicized accusation and will be contested and defeated,” he said.

Alleged “fake electors” have also been charged in Georgia, Michigan and Nevada.

An Oklahoma man, alongside his girlfriend, “bludgeoned” his girlfriend’s relative with a brick, before dumping the victim’s remains in a wildlife refuge, federal authorities said.

According to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Oklahoma, Tevin Terrell Semien, 29, and co-defendant Nicole Leigh Logsdon, 24, were indicted for the May 2023 murder of 68-year-old Karon “Dinkers” Conneywerdy Smith.

Semien admitted to officers that he “agreed” to kill Smith and went to her home and “bludgeoned” Smith to death “with a brick, put her body in the trunk of her vehicle, and disposed of her body in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge,” the affidavit said.

Semien also admitted to law enforcement that his girlfriend requested that he murder her relative, Smith, because the pair allegedly had a falling out.

According to the affidavit, Smith was part of a Native American tribe, the Comanche Nation, and was found dead on May 17, 2023, in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge by authorities.

Investigators searched the woman’s home and found blood “consistent with a violent struggle,” authorities said. Law enforcement noted that Smith’s vehicle was missing from her home.

Days later, on May 21, Texas law enforcement observed the victim’s vehicle driving south of Dallas, Texas. 

Officers attempted to pull the vehicle over, but Semien and Logsdon fled and led police on a high-speed chase before crashing into a lake.

The two attempted to flee on foot but were apprehended, police said.

In an interview with authorities that day, Semien initially denied involvement in the death before he admitted that he had killed her, admitting that Lodgson was his girlfriend, as well as a relative of the victim.

Semien pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm after a previous felony conviction.

On Jan. 10, Logsdon pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder, and admitted to helping Semien in his attempt to avoid arrest and prosecution.

Semien faces up to life in federal prison, and Logsdon faces 15 years in prison if convicted.
