Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has pleaded not guilty for his alleged role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election in Arizona. Meadows, along with 17 others, are charged with nine felony counts for the so-called “fake electors” scheme.
A judge in Arizona has set a Jan. 5, 2026, trial date for allies of Donald Trump who have been charged for their roles as fake electors in a scheme to overturn the 2020 election results. At a hearing Monday, Arizona Superior Court Judge Bruce Cohen scheduled the criminal trial to begin just one day shy of the fifth anniversary of the Capitol riots, though he called the 2026 date a “moving target.
The remaining 16 defendants who face criminal charges include Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani; Trump's former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows; Trump's former legal adviser John Eastman; and Christina Bobb, a lawyer who is currently spearheading the Republican National Committee's 'election integrity' efforts. All of them have pleaded not guilty.
