In a significant development, Loraine Pellegrino has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in the Arizona fake electors case. This makes her the first of the 11 electors for former President Trump to strike a deal with the state Attorney General's Office.

Pellegrino's guilty plea pertains to a single misdemeanor charge of filing a false instrument. Her decision to accept a lesser charge reflects her desire to move forward and put the matter behind her. Pellegrino's attorney, Joshua Kolsrud, stated that she has taken full responsibility for her actions, demonstrating her commitment to upholding the law and making positive contributions to the community.

Arizona was among seven states where Republican electors cast their votes for Trump, despite President Biden winning the state's electoral votes. Pellegrino's case is part of the ongoing investigation into the alleged plot to overturn Arizona's 2020 presidential election results.

This marks the second defendant in the fake electors case to reach an agreement with the attorney general's office. Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for President Trump, has also agreed to cooperate with the state AG's office. In exchange for her testimony against her co-defendants, the charges against Ellis will be dropped. This cooperation between Ellis and the state AG's office makes her the first of the 18 defendants in the alleged plot to collaborate with authorities.

The involvement of these defendants in the fake electors case holds significance as it sheds light on the attempts made to undermine the electoral process. Their cooperation with the authorities can potentially reveal crucial information about the alleged plot and help ensure the integrity of future elections.

As the legal proceedings continue, the outcomes of Pellegrino's guilty plea and Ellis's cooperation remain to be seen. However, these developments highlight the ongoing efforts to uncover the truth behind the alleged scheme to subvert the 2020 presidential election results.
