Arizona eyes Trump allies in amped-up election interference probe: report

Arizona’s election interference probe is gaining momentum as investigators quiz state Republicans about a “pressure campaign,” mounted by Donald Trump’s allies, to choose a slate of fake electors, according to a new report.

Investigators for Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) are asking Phoenix county Republicans and former House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) about Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani’s demands to look into voter fraud that never existed, sources told the Washington Post.

“The new line of questioning marks the first time local prosecutors have shown interest in examining the pressure campaign,” writes Yvonne Wingett Sanchez.
