Arizona State Senate President calls for DOJ investigation against Secretary Fontes
April 8
Arizona State Senate President Warren Petersen has asked for a federal investigation of two of the state’s top Democrats, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Attorney General Kris Mayes, after they requested information about voter records provided in response to a subpoena. Petersen, a Republican, asked that the two be investigated, accusing them of interfering with a federal investigation.
Lennea Montandon, a spokesperson for Courchaine, said the office was “aware of the letter,” but had no further comment. Petersen, who is running for the GOP nomination to challenge Mayes for her job in November, in early March revealed he had complied with a federal grand jury subpoena seeking all records related to a review of ballots cast by Maricopa County voters in 2020.
That review affirmed Democrat Joe Biden won Arizona.
Secretary Fontes joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the investigation and accusations.
