In heated debate, Arizona secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem reveals he sat for Jan. 6, DOJ

interview

Arizona Republican secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem revealed during Thursday's debate that he has been interviewed by both the Justice Department and Jan. 6 committee about his alleged involvement in the Capitol attack.

This was the first time Finchem has publicly confirmed speaking on the matter with federal officials.

"They asked me, why was I there? I said, 'Well, I think you already know. I was there to deliver an evidence package to Representative Paul Gosar,'" Finchem, who was subpoenaed by the committee earlier this year, told reporters after the debate.

The four-term, far-right Arizona lawmaker, who continues to espouse the "Big Lie" and is running to be the state's chief election officer, revealed the Jan. 6 interview and Justice Department involvement in a back-and-forth on the debate stage with his opponent, Democrat Adrian Fontes.

Please consider contributing. Adrian is a solid, smart dude, I went to a fundraiser for him last March, and my GF knows him, has worked for his campaign in the past.

We can't lose this one!!!

I was disappointed it was so short. Between the opening and closing there was just a couple of questions or so and it was over. Unfortunately this race will get little publicity and little money.
