DOJ subpoenas two Arizona state senators for communications with Trump attorneys




https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3544816-doj-subpoenas-two-arizona-state-senators-for-communications-with-trump-attorneys-reports/

The Justice Department (DOJ) has issued subpoenas to two Arizona state senators seeking information about interactions they may have had with former President Trump’s lawyers as part of the department’s investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, multiple outlets reported.

Kim Quintero, a spokeswoman for Arizona Senate Republicans, confirmed to multiple outlets that state Senate President Karen Fann (R) and state Sen. Kelly Townsend (R) received subpoenas last week.

Quintero told The Washington Post that Fann and Townsend are cooperating with the subpoenas, and that staff have identified tens of thousands of records potentially relevant to the department’s request.

“They’re requesting text messages and emails from a list of people, which I can’t disclose who those people are, because they told us not to speak with the media about this,” she said.

and she needs to be billed to reimburse the taxpayers of Maricopa County for hundreds of thousands of dollars in ruined vote counting machines and ballot screens that must be replaced, as well as the cost of a phony, fake, "audit" that cost millions and turned up absolutely zero evidence of any kind of voter fraud or poor accounting procedure by the county election board.

all of the U.S. Attorneys would have been the ones to prosecute that (and they are "DOJ" ), were 45-appointees, and a year and a half later, Biden is still trying to get them all completely replaced as they need to all go through the Senate confirmation process (there are 94 of them including D.C.'s).

(and others)? She should have come out and volunteered this information instead of being subpoenaed.
