An Arizona woman has become the first to be convicted in the state’s 2020 fake electors scheme…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Republican activist who signed a document falsely claiming that former\u00a0President Trump\u00a0won the 2020 presidential election in Arizona has pleaded guilty earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court records show Pellegrino\u2019s plea change was entered Tuesday, and she was sentenced to unsupervised probation. The details of her agreement have not yet been posted by the court. She previously faced nine felony counts. The Hill<\/a> requested comment from her lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alternate electors scheme relied on former Vice President\u00a0Mike Pence\u00a0to certify slates of Trump-supporting electors in battleground states instead of the true Electoral College votes cast for Biden. Pence declined to do so on Jan. 6, 2021, the day of the election certification, after which a mob of Trump\u2019s supporters stormed the Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis\u2019s charges were dismissed after she\u00a0agreed to cooperate\u00a0with state prosecutors. She faced nine felony counts including fraud, forgery and conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As part of the deal, Ellis agreed to testify \u201ccompletely and truthfully at any time and any place,\u201d including at a criminal trial. She also promised not to \u201cprotect any person or entity\u201d through false information or omissions. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The case against the remaining defendants is set to go to trial in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
