That review of the election confirmed Joe Biden’s win in the state. “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,” Senate President Warren Peterson said in a post on X. “The FBI has the records.” The subpoena appears to expand the administration’s wide-ranging investigation into the 2020 presidential election. President Donald Trump has baselessly claimed the election was stolen from him. Trump cheered on the move as “Great!!!” in a social media post Monday.
