Arizona state Sen. Jake Hoffman announced on Saturday that he was elected as national committeeman for the Republican National Committee (RNC), three days after an Arizona grand jury indicted him for the “fake electors scheme”—described as an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

The indictment included 10 other Republicans who submitted “procedural vote“ documents to Congress claiming that former President Donald Trump won Arizona in 2020, after he narrowly lost the state to President Joe Biden by less than one percent of the vote.
