"I'm honored to join the RNC and thrilled the new leadership is focused on election integrity. I look forward to working to secure our elections and restore confidence in the process," Bobb said in a statement to CNN at the time.
RNC's Head of 'Election Integrity' Indicted over Fake Electors Scheme
". . .Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung said to Newsweek: "Another example of Democrats' weaponization of the legal system. Christina Bobb is a former Marine Corps officer, who served our nation and the President with distinction. The Democrat platform for 2024: if you can't beat them, try to throw them in jail."
The indictment described a tweet Bobb published on Dec. 6, 2020, criticizing the Arizona House speaker at the time of using the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to close the chamber for a week.
- While this was not mentioned in the indictment, Bobb also wrote a book making baseless claims about the election called Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of the 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024.

The defendants named in the documents include Kelli Ward, former chair of the Arizona Republican Party, and her husband Michael Ward; ex-U.S. Senate candidate Jim Lamon; two current state senators, Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern; and Tyler Bowyer, the Republican National Committee's Arizona committeeman and chief operating officer of the pro-Trump Turning Point Action organization.
Attorneys Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn and former campaign aide Mike Roman are also charged, along with former top state Republicans Greg Safsten and Robert Montgomery, and GOP activists Samuel Moorhead, Nancy Cottle and Loraine Pellegrino."
