Phoenix’s NBC affiliate reports:
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes [photo] plans to announce next week that one of the 18 defendants in her investigation of the so-called “fake electors” scheme will become a cooperating witness for the prosecution.
“We are going to have a very significant announcement to make early next week,” Mayes said during Friday’s taping of this weekend’s “Sunday Square Off.”
Several of the defendants in Arizona are also defendants in Georgia’s election interference case. One of them is Jenna Ellis, a former Trump legal adviser. Ellis allegedly worked with Rudy Giuliani on a pressure campaign to reverse Arizona’s 2020 presidential election results.
Read the full article. My guess is that it’s Ellis, who has become a loud critic of Trump in recent months.
