Eastman is the first defendant charged in the Arizona case to appear in court and the others are scheduled to follow suit in the coming weeks.

File photo: “I, of course, plead not guilty,” John Eastman said following the brief hearing. “I’m confident that, with the laws faithfully applied, I will be exonerated at the end of this process.”Former Donald Trump lawyer John Eastman pleaded not guilty in Phoenix on Friday on charges related to allegedly participating in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona.

While Trump is not among those charged in Arizona, the details in the indictment suggest he is “Unindicted Coconspirator 1.” Each defendant is expected to be fingerprinted and have a mugshot taken as they are processed, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.“This really tracks much of the same type of information and allegations that we see in the Georgia indictment and others,” Michael Moore, a CNN legal analyst and former US attorney, said

The right-wing lawyer devised a multi-step plan for then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election and advised Trump on plots to disrupt Congress’ certification of the 2020 election results.
