The Trump administration has subpoenaed records related to the 2020 election in Arizona’s largest county, the state Senate president said Monday, the latest in a series of steps taken by the president to relitigate an election he lost and bolster the federal government’s authority over elections.

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

Petersen was responding to a post from President Donald Trump on Truth Social calling the development “Great!!!”
