FBI subpoenas Arizona county voting records related to notorious 2020 audit
Transparency shouldn't be controversial.
The FBI issued a grand jury subpoena last week for records tied to Arizona’s controversial 2020 election audit, marking the second publicly known jurisdiction under scrutiny in a Department of Justice investigation examining election-related activities from that year.
Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, a Republican, disclosed Monday that he received the subpoena last week seeking records connected to the Arizona state Senate’s review of the 2020 election results in Maricopa County. Petersen said he complied with the request.
President Trump is 100% correct.
Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County. The FBI has the records. Any other report is fake news.@realDonaldTrump

Federal investigators are reportedly examining a large tranche of Arizona election data tied to both the 2020 and 2024 cycles, Fox News reported. The Washington Examiner contacted the FBI’s Phoenix field office.
The subpoena signals a widening federal investigation into disputes surrounding the 2020 election. Earlier this year, investigators also began examining election-related matters in Fulton County, Georgia, another jurisdiction that was central to allegations of voting irregularities following the presidential race.
President Donald Trump amplified the development on Monday after sharing a report about the subpoena on Truth Social, writing, “Great!!! FBI secretly seizes election records from Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands.”
The investigation comes as Trump has renewed his focus on election security ahead of the midterm elections. Over the weekend, the president said he would not sign legislation unless Congress passes the SAVE America Act, a proposal that would require voters to present proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The version Trump supports would also significantly restrict mail-in voting, allowing it primarily for military voters and with limited exceptions.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, criticized the investigation, arguing that it is based on claims already rejected by courts and state officials.
“What the Trump administration appears to be pursuing now is not a legitimate law enforcement inquiry,” Mayes said in a statement. “It is the weaponization of federal law enforcement in service of crackpots and lies.”
