Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, who narrowly won her office by less than 300 votes amidst Election Day malfunctions that turned away countless Republican voters, is conducting an investigation into the state's fake electors related to the 2020 election. This probe has led to subpoenas for Congressmen Andy Biggs (@RepAndyBiggsAZ) and Paul Gosar (@RepGosar), as well as Senators Jake Hoffman, all of whom supported former President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The investigation has sparked controversy, with the Arizona Freedom Caucus condemning what they describe as the weaponization of the Attorney General's office for political persecution. Rep. Joseph Chaplik criticized the investigation as "a stain on the office of Attorney General." Additionally, the Arizona House GOP panel has initiated a probe into Mayes (@AZAGMayes), accusing her of using her office to attack political opponents. This investigation could position Arizona as the fourth state to bring criminal election interference charges related to the 2020 election.
