Intensified probe into election overturn attempts.
A New Criminal Investigation into Alleged Attempts to Overturn the 2020 Presidential Election
A new criminal investigation is currently underway in the Grand Canyon State, focusing on alleged attempts by Republicans to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, assigned a group of prosecutors to the case back in May. The investigation appears to center around 22 Republicans who signed and transmitted official documents claiming to be the state’s chosen electors for Trump in the electoral college, as reported by The Washington Post.
According to the report, one set of documents was signed by GOP activists, while another set was signed by Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and other high-profile Republicans.
Investigators have already made contact with many of those who allegedly signed the documents and their attorneys.
At this point, Trump does not appear to be a target in the criminal investigation. However, this could change if new evidence emerges in the case. A similar criminal investigation is also underway in Michigan regarding alleged attempts by Republicans to overturn the election results.
Multiple Criminal Indictments and Investigations Surrounding Trump
In addition to the ongoing criminal investigation in Arizona, former President Trump is already facing indictment in two cases. One case, brought by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, is considered by many to be weak and politically motivated. The other case, led by special counsel Jack Smith, is seen as far more serious.
Furthermore, Trump is also facing a criminal indictment in Georgia for his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Additionally, he is the subject of a second federal criminal investigation by Smith on the same matter.
According to The Washington Post’s report at the beginning of the month, Trump allegedly tried to pressure then-Arizona Governor Doug Ducey to overturn the state’s presidential election results. The report states that Trump repeatedly asked then-Vice President Mike Pence to contact Ducey and find evidence to support his claims.
When asked about this, Pence told CBS News earlier this month that he did not recall any pressure. He mentioned that he had checked in with governors across the nation whose states were going through the legal process of reviewing their election results.
