The Trump administration widens its probe of the 2020 election as it obtains records from Arizona
PHOENIX (AP) — The Republican leader of Arizona’s state Senate said Monday he has handed over records related to the 2020 presidential election to the FBI in the latest sign that the Trump administration is acting on the president’s longstanding falsehoods about a race he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Senate President Warren Petersen said in a social media post that he complied “late last week” with a federal grand jury subpoena for records related to a controversial audit of the election in Maricopa County that had been ordered by legislative Republicans.
“The FBI has the records,” Petersen said.
He did not immediately respond to requests for additional comment, and a spokesperson for Senate Republicans said in an email that Petersen “does not have anything to add outside of his X post at this time.” The FBI office in Phoenix did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
