the associated press report that former new york mayor and attorney rudy giuliani and former trump white house chief of staff mark meadows are among the names of seven defendants redacted within the indictment. the state's attorney general says the plot undermined arizona citzens' voting rights. meanwhile, arizona has moved one step closer to ending a 160—year—old law banning abortion, after state house lawmakers voted to repeal it. three republican state representatives broke ranks to vote with democrats, with the repeal passing 32 to 28. the bill now goes to the state senate, where it could pass. abortion rights are being examined in the us supreme court. on wednesday, justices heard arguments about how close to death a woman must be to receive an abortion in states where there are strict bans. the case centres on a federal law requiring hospitals to provide stabilising treatment to any patient who arrives with an "emergency medical condition". the question before the supreme court is whether the emergency medical treatment and labor act — or emtala — covers emergency abortions
