Arizona’s Attorney General Mark Brnovich has opened a “formal investigation,” according to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann.
The investigation is expected to fully expose misconduct by Maricopa County election officials.
This decision comes following concerning revelations found in Arizona’s independent election audit.
Karen Fann made this announcement while appearing on “The Conservative Circus” with host James T. Harris.
Fann also discussed coming changes to election law in Arizona, Becker News notes.
“Some of that report is inconclusive and so we will have supplemental reports coming,” Fann said.
“And the reason why it is inconclusive is because Maricopa County did not turn over the routers, did not over the splunk logs. They have now admitted before Congress that they deleted files the day before everything was supposed to be turned in and over to us.”
“They admitted in Congress that, actually, they said that they had to delete them to make room for an upcoming election,” she continued. “However, congressmen then pointed out that there were still elections on the server from previous – before 2020, and they couldn’t explain why that was.”
“When they said, ‘don’t worry, the deleted files are on a backup archive,’ and Congressman Biggs said ‘did you turn that over to the auditors in the Senate’? they said, ‘well, no, they didn’t subpoena our backup archives.”
“So, this is the stuff we have been putting up from day one,” Fann said, addng “our audit was pretty darn good, and we’re not done yet.”
“I mean, you don’t hold information from the voters and the constituents and just think you are going to get away with it,” Fann continued. “Not going to happen.”
“We, as a legislative body, right?” she continued. “Our job is policy. Our job is to make laws, make sure they’re working, and change or update laws as necessary.”
“It is the Attorney General’s office’s to enforce those laws. So, we are on a dual path now. We have turned everything – we have, so far, over to the Attorney General.
“He has opened up a formal investigation,’ Fann said of the Attorney General. “He is seeking not only all the information we have, but he is digging further into information that other people have gathered, even outside of the audit. So – that’s his job. He is going to hold people accountable.”
President Donald Trump issued two statements following the “huge findings” of the Arizona election audit.
Reports from the independent auditing agency Cyber Ninjas were leaked to the press. The reports uncovered “significant and undeniable evidence of voter fraud.”
“Huge findings in Arizona!” Trump responded.
“However, the Fake News Media is already trying to ‘call it’ again for Biden before actually looking at the facts – just like they did in November!” Trump added.
“The audit has uncovered significant and undeniable evidence of FRAUD!” Trump continued.
“Until we know how and why this happened, our Elections will never be secure. This is a major criminal event and should be investigated by the Attorney General immediately.”
“The Senate’s final report will be released today at 4 o’clock,” he said. “I have heard it is far different than that being reported by the Fake News Media.”
