PHOENIX - Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes will appeal her election interference case against aides to President Donald Trump and 11 Arizona Republicans to the state's Supreme Court.
Fraud and special prosecutions section chief Krista Wood on Nov. 21 sent an email notifying attorneys working on the case that the office would appeal. A copy of the email was obtained by The Arizona Republic, a USA TODAY Network partner.
Mayes, a Democrat, had been weighing her options for months after a pair of adverse court rulings set back the controversial prosecution and faced a Nov. 21 deadline to appeal. Mayes had at least considered dropping the case, but by appealing, it will continue on at least for a time and could go before a new grand jury.
In April 2024, a grand jury indicted 11 Arizona Republicans and seven aides to Trump on nine felony counts related to a conspiracy to keep Trump in power in 2020. The case alleged the 11 electors for Trump signed and sent false paperwork to Washington, D.C., claiming he won the state when they knew Democrat Joe Biden had won.
