A high-ranking official within the Arizona Attorney General’s office now faces felony charges, accused of controlling and trafficking stolen property. The arrest was made by federal authorities with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, sending shockwaves through the state’s legal landscape.
This development arrives amidst intense scrutiny of Attorney General Kris Mayes, who is already under a cloud of suspicion. Allegations suggest a potential federal investigation into whether she improperly used her office and accepted bribes to influence a case involving alternative 2020 electors.
Representative Abe Hamadeh has been a vocal critic, recently sending a formal letter to the Department of Justice demanding a thorough investigation into Mayes’ conduct. He alleges the alleged bribes were directly used to finance her legal defense and conceal questions surrounding her own contested 2022 election victory.
Hamadeh has stated he has directly communicated his concerns to high-level White House officials, vowing to relentlessly pursue the matter. He emphasized the need for concrete action following his repeated calls for accountability.
The core of the allegations centers around the granting of unusual prosecutorial authority to an outside nonprofit group involved in the case against the alternative electors. This unprecedented move has fueled concerns about political interference and potential abuse of power.
The unfolding situation raises serious questions about the integrity of the Arizona Attorney General’s office and the impartiality of the legal proceedings related to the 2020 election. The federal investigation, if launched, could have far-reaching consequences.
