The Republican National Committee’s head of election security, Christina Bobb, a former attorney of Donald Trump, has been receiving ridiculed on social media following her arraignment for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona by sending a slate of fake electors from the state.
Bobb was a lawyer for Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. When she worked for One America News, she reported on an audit of the Arizona election results while also raising money for the audit.
From there, the former Trump lawyer became a part of the fake elector plot and the “command center” at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., during the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
Her mugshot was taken this week after she and ten other people who appeared in court virtually were arraigned at a Maricopa County, Arizona, courthouse. At the same time, she pleaded not guilty to the charges against her.

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who played a pivotal role in former President Donald Trump’s schemes to steal the 2020 election, was having a blast evading Arizona law enforcement last week.
According to two people who talked to him about it — including during his 80th birthday bash this past Friday — the former top Trump attorney was absolutely jubilant about his success in dodging being served his indictment in the Grand Canyon State’s sprawling election-subversion case. Right up until Friday, Giuliani had even been soliciting additional ideas from...

During his 80th birthday party, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was served with a legal notice from Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes‘ office. On Friday, Giuliani celebrated his birthday at the home of Caroline Wren in Palm Springs, California. The party hosted around 200 guests.
Outside Wren’s home, two officials from Mayes’ office approached Giuliani with a notice of his indictment. Giuliani was involved in an alleged ploy to overturn Arizona’s 2020 presidential election results. The event caused panic among some guests. Some screamed while a woman cried. Giuliani, however, appeared calm during the ordeal.
Ted Goodman, spokesperson for Giuliani, stated, “The mayor was unfazed by the decision to try and embarrass him during his 80th birthday party. He enjoyed an incredible evening with hundreds of people who love him—from all walks of life—and we look forward to full vindication soon.”

Rudy Giuliani spent most of the past month successfully evading an indictment for a 2020 false elector criminal case in Arizona — until officials tracked him down at his 80th birthday party.
CNN reported Giuliani was celebrating the occasion in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday when he was served the papers. Prior to being handed the lawsuit, he made a post on X, formerly Twitter, mocking Arizona authorities for failing to track him down.
“If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,...

On Wednesday, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 of Donald Trump’s allies for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
Boris Epshteyn, a former White House aide who has remained one of Trump’s closest advisers, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows are three of 18 indicted allies. Their names were redacted in documents released, but court officials confirmed that they were included in the group charged.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced the indictment Wednesday night. She focused on the 11 people who acted as pro-Trump electors in Arizona.
“A state grand jury made up of everyday regular Arizonans has now handed down felony indictments for all 11 Republican electors as well as several others connected to this scheme,” Mayes stated.
“These are serious indictments, but this is the first hurdle the state must pass in our constitutional criminal justice system,...

Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake can’t seem to make up her mind. Does she believe that Arizona’s Civil War-era total ban on abortion is a “great law” and that abortion is “the ultimate sin,” as she said on the campaign trail in 2022? Or does she think that every woman should have “choices” when they get pregnant, as she insisted in a recent campaign video?

Missed Wednesday’s late-night monologues? We’ve got you covered with our round-up of the night’s best laughs from across the dial.
Judicial Heat Stroke
On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an absolute abortion ban based on a law drafted in 1864 that provides no exceptions for rape or incest and only grudgingly allows the procedure to actually save a woman’s life. The throwback ruling to a time before there even was an Arizona caught even some previously staunch anti-choice Republicans flatfooted, as they spent yesterday and today trying to save their political careers by sweatily assuring pissed off and deeply coveted woman voters that they think the court went too far.
It’s a right old mess for the GOP in an election year, which is nothing compared to the bind Arizona women will face once the law goes into effect, with Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and...

On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling to reinstate a 160-year-old abortion ban, which resulted in immediate changes in stance among Republicans who had previously supported it, such as Senate candidate Kari Lake.
The Court overturned a 2022 law that permitted abortions up to 15 weeks, clearing the way for an 1864 ban that essentially prohibits the procedure except when necessary to save the life of the mother.
The state’s highest Court initially heard arguments on the case in December after the Arizona Court of Appeals determined that the two contradictory abortion bans needed to be “harmonized.”
In a 4-2 decision, the justices stated that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the federal law safeguarding abortion rights until viability, meant that there was no legal barrier to enforcing the decades-old ban. The Court ruled that the law could be implemented within 14 days, and the parties involved were allowed to raise...

The Arizona Supreme Court has revived an 1864 criminal ban on abortion.
The Civil War-era law, which predated Arizona statehood by almost a half a century, prohibits abortion at any stage of pregnancy, for any reason other than when “necessary” to save the pregnant person’s life. The ban carries a penalty of up to five years in prison for abortion providers.
“
hysicians are now on notice that all abortions, except those necessary to save a woman’s life, are illegal,” the court’s opinion read.

San Francisco, May 29 (Ians) At least 48 US states have sued a telecom company called Avid Telecom for allegedly routing 7.5 billion illegal and spoofed robocalls to millions of residents on the ‘Do Not Call Registry’.
The lawsuit was filed in US District Court for the District of Arizona against Avid Telecom, its CEO Michael Lansky and VP of Operations and Sales Stacey Reeves.

Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich failed to report evidence disproving claims of election fraud in the state, instead releasing a letter in April 2022 alleging “serious vulnerabilities” in the states voting systems, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Brnovich, then a Republican candidate in the Arizona Republican Senate primary, omitted findings from his office’s investigation refuting claims of election fraud and misconduct in the 2020 election from the version of the report he submitted to the state Senate.
