Special counsel subpoenas Arizona secretary of state office in Jan. 6 probe
by Julia Shapero - 07/05/23 3:58 PM ET
The Arizona Secretary of State’s office has been subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.
The secretary of state’s office received two subpoenas, one for the previous administration and another for the current one, the spokesperson said.
The subpoenas sought information related to lawsuits brought by the Trump campaign and the chair of the Arizona Republican Party about alleged errors in the state’s 2020 election results. President Biden won Arizona that year, flipping a longtime Republican stronghold.
Smith previously subpoenaed leading Arizona state lawmakers in the Jan. 6 probe, The Arizona Republic reported. However, he does not appear to have requested information from former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R).

The two aforementioned Secretaries of State in AZ are Katie Hobbs and Adrian Fontes, both Democrats.
And Jan 6 represents a significant expansion of Smith's mandate.
