Former President Donald Trump has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a new election interference case out of Arizona, in which several of his closest allies have been charged with crimes.

Prosecutors say 18 people in the state conspired to illegally award that state's electoral votes to Trump in 2020, even though he lost the popular vote to Joe Biden by about 11,000 votes.

Among those who are indicted are former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
