Take a look at this NBC News summary, and pay particular attention to the penultimate name toward the end of the paragraph:
Each of these GOP figures is notable for a variety of reasons, but its Bobbs name that stood out.
The Republican lawyers name might not be immediately familiar to national audiences, but Bobb made headlines last month after Trump took over the Republican National Committee and hired Bobb to serve as senior counsel for election integrity.
In other words, a grand jury in Arizona has indicted the RNCs election integrity chief on election-related crimes. Specifically, the indictment includes charges of conspiracy, fraud and forgery.
Whether anyone at the Republican National Committee will actually mind remains to be seen. A Washington Post analysis from last month made clear that Bobbs not just another Republican lawyer.
And that was just a sampling. Bobb talked in 2022 about a plot to overturn the 2020 election results and possibly reinstate Trump to the White House. A year later, the lawyer raised the possibility of someone intentionally having released Covid as part of a scheme to interfere with Trumps re-election effort......
In other words, the lawyer who will help oversee the Republican National Committees election integrity efforts is a Big Lie proponent, an election conspiracy theorist who played a prominent role in a scandal that led to one of Donald Trumps many felony indictments, and a suspected criminal in Arizona, where shes been charged with election-related crimes.
The [indictment] describes people who have been charged in the case but have not yet been served and whose names are redacted: [Mark] Meadows, Trumps former White House chief of staff; [Rudy] Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and Trump attorney; [Boris] Epshteyn, a Trump campaign official and attorney; former Trump campaign and White House official Mike Roman; former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis; former Trump attorney Christina Bobb; and John Eastman, another attorney and Trump legal adviser in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

She has a robust pedigree, at least as far as Trump is concerned. Soon after the 2020 election, she began working with Giuliani and others to elevate baseless or later-debunked claims about the results in various states having been tainted by fraud. She was involved in the audit of votes in Arizona, working with Trump campaign official (and Georgia co-defendant) Mike Roman. She wrote a book, published in January 2023, cataloguing familiar (and baseless or debunked) criticisms of the results. Its all there, from Antrim County to State Farm Arena to True the Vote. (The books forward was written by Stephen K. Bannon; Jim Hoft of the conspiracy-promoting site Gateway Pundit wrote a blurb.)
