18 Republicans for allegedly claiming Mr Trump won Arizona, when in truth the Democratic nominee, President Joe Biden, carried the state by more than 10,000 votes.

Mr Giuliani is expected to appear in a Phoenix, Arizona courtroom for the arraignment hearing on Tuesday morning. He only received official notice of his indictment on Friday, when papers were served to him after his 80th birthday party.

Four other high-profile officials, including Mr Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, are expected in court in June.

Arizona follows Georgia, Michigan and Nevada, in charging *********** officials who are accused of attempting to thwart Mr Biden’s victory.

The state says 11 Republicans submitted a document to congress claiming, falsely, that they were Arizona’s true electors and saying they would cast the state’s electoral votes for Mr Trump.
