Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows Indicted in Arizona

Ex-Congressman Faces Charges Related to 2020 Election

Meadows Denies Wrongdoing, Cites Political Motivation

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has been indicted by an Arizona grand jury in connection with his alleged involvement in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Meadows, who served as President Donald Trump's final chief of staff, is charged with conspiracy to commit misconduct involving elections and communication fraud in connection with a scheme to provide Trump with false electoral certificates from Arizona electors.

According to the indictment, Meadows and other co-conspirators pressured Arizona officials to change the results of the election in Trump's favor. They allegedly did so by sending false electoral certificates to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and by attempting to influence the Arizona Senate's audit of the election results.

Meadows has denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the charges are politically motivated. He has also indicated that he will fight the indictment.

The indictment is the latest development in a series of investigations into Trump's efforts to overturn the election results. The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol has subpoenaed Meadows for documents and testimony, and the Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into the matter.

The indictment of Meadows is a significant step in the Justice Department's investigation and could lead to further charges against Trump and his allies.
