The F.B.I. has expanded its criminal investigation into purported irregularities in the 2020 presidential election, issuing a grand jury subpoena for reams of information about voting results in Maricopa County, Ariz., a Democratic stronghold in the swing state, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The subpoena was issued in recent days to the Arizona State Senate, which oversaw a sprawling but partisan audit of the vote result that was ordered by Senate Republicans in Maricopa County in the months after Donald J. Trump lost to Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Warren Petersen, the Republican president of the Arizona Senate, confirmed receiving the subpoena in a post on social media on Monday. “Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County,” he wrote. “The FBI has the records.”

The move by investigators indicated that the Justice Department had added a new state to its efforts to re-examine the 2020 race. That inquiry was first disclosed in January when F.B.I. agents executed a search warrant at an elections office in Fulton County, Ga., removing truckloads of voting records.

1. Trump Cheers FBI's Seizure of Arizona Voting Records as 2020 Election Probe Expands

President Donald Trump enthusiastically endorsed a report on Monday that the FBI seized a “large tranche” of election records from Arizona’s largest county, a move signaling the feds have expanded their investigation into voter fraud during the 2020 election.

Trump did not say much to get his point across. The president simply posted “GREAT,” followed by three exclamation points, on Truth Social. He also included the headline and link to a Just the News report from Sunday, which said “FBI secretly seizes election records from Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands.”

The report said FBI agents are “receiving gigabytes of electronic election data” from Maricopa County, which has about 4.4 million residents and is where Phoenix is located. Multiple sources told Just the News the election records were obtained following a grand jury subpoena.

Here is the key section of the story:

The subpoena comes five years after the GOP-led Arizona state Senate conducted a lengthy investigation into the 2020 election and concluded there were significant irregularities.

has to hide information from the government "targeting, rewriting and shredding" machine.
