An Arizona grand jury considered indicting Donald Trump alongside 18 Republican supporters who falsely claimed he won the state in the 2020 election.

However, prosecutors urged them not to charge Trump, citing a U.S. Justice Department policy against prosecuting someone for the same crime twice, and noting a lack of sufficient evidence at the time.

The grand jury ultimately indicted 18 individuals on charges of forgery, fraud, and conspiracy, including 11 Republicans who submitted false documents, five lawyers connected to Trump, and two former aides.

Trump was referred to as an “unindicted coconspirator.”

The grand jurors were also advised against indicting Republican state lawmakers who urged Vice President Mike Pence to accept forged electoral college certificates, the Associated Press has reported.

Attorney Jenna Ellis agreed to cooperate with Arizona prosecutors, leading to the dismissal of charges against her.

The remaining defendants, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Trump presidential chief of staff Mark Meadows, have pleaded not guilty.
