The Arizona secretary of state's office received and complied with a subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith's office related to the federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
related to the federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, spokesperson Paul Smith-Leonard confirmed to CBS News.
The subpoena requested documents related to a pair of election-related lawsuits filed in 2020 by the Trump campaign and the former head of Arizona's Republican party, . Contact between Secretary of State Adrian Fontes' office and Smith's team began in May and an outside counsel hired by the office — Coppersmith Brockelman — responded to the grand jury request, said Smith-Leonard.The 2020 battleground state became a focal point of former President Donald Trump and his supporters' attempts to reverse the results of the presidential election.
The subpoena of the Arizona Secretary of State was the second received by the office in recent months connected to the federal probe, according to a person familiar with the matter. The first request came last year, during the administration of Arizona's previous secretary of state, and was processed by the same outside law firm that has handled much of the office's responses to 2020-related matters.
