An Arizona grand jury discussed indicting former President Donald Trump in the 'fake electors' case related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Despite the grand jury's inclination, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and prosecutors urged them not to proceed with the indictment. This decision aligns with the broader context of the case, where 18 individuals were charged earlier this spring for their involvement in the scheme. The New York Times reports that the grand jury's discussions were influenced by the prosecutors' recommendations.
