The Arizona alternate Trump electors case brought by Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes is in jeopardy after a judge allowed the defendants to argue the charges are politically motivated.
During a hearing on Monday Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Bruce Cohen said he is open to listening to the defendants’ arguments to have the indictment thrown out under Arizona’s anti-SLAPP law which was recently expanded by the legislature to cover vindictive politically motivated charges.
Politico reported:
Allies of Donald Trump are using an unusual new Arizona law to urge a judge to throw out a criminal case charging them with fraudulently trying to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election result.
