Eastman To Be Arraigned Today With AZ Fake Electors

Phoenix’s NBC affiliate reports:

Starting Friday morning, Arizona’s “fake electors” case will get going with the first of the 18 defendants walking into a basement courtroom in downtown Phoenix. One arraignment is scheduled Friday, for John C. Eastman.

Eastman is the 64-year-old conservative law professor and former Trump lawyer who was the father of the fake elector scheme, according to court documents. Many of the remaining defendants – about 10 at this point – will show up for their arraignments at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Some have been granted extensions until later in May or June. A few will appear virtually. One defendant, former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, has not yet been served yet with his summons to appear in court.

Read the full article. As was reported earlier this week, Giuliani has been dodging service of his indictment and is believe to be holed up in Palm Beach.

18 defendants in Arizona’s ‘fake electors’ case start heading to court Friday. But where’s Rudy? AG still unable to serve summons. https://t.co/Vm7KcXbNMm
