Good evening. I'm Jeff Bennett on the Navas is away. On the news hour tonight.

Rudy Giuliani is one of a dozen Trump allies charged in Arizona for their involvement in a fake

elector scheme. The defense rests its case after Donald Trump chooses not to

testify in his criminal hush money trial.

And late night talk show host Bill Maher reflects on his decades of comedy and commentary

and today's political climate.

We have to learn to live with, sit with, mingle with people who don't think like you.

They're not raised like you.

They weren't from a part of the country that you're from, and it's okay. Welcome to the news hour. The legal fallout for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election continued in Arizona today.

Rudy Giuliani and 11 other allies of former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty

to charges that include conspiracy, fraud, and forgery.

It's connected to the plot to install fake electors to back Trump

despite President Biden winning the state in the 2020 election.

Following all of this closely is Ned Foley.

He's an election law expert at the Ohio State University.

Thanks so much for being with us.

Good to be with you.

And it's worth noting that Arizona prosecutors spent weeks trying to find Rudy Giuliani.

They ultimately located him based on some of his podcasts and he was served as summons while

he was leaving his 80th birthday party in Palm Beach, Florida.

Other defendants in this case include former Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelly Ward,

former White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, former Trump, Jenna Ellis, remind us of how this scheme worked and what they were trying to accomplish.
