GOP Reps. Biggs, Gosar Subpoenaed in Arizona 'Fake Electors' Probe

Reps. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar, two of the most vehement Donald Trump supporters in Congress who led GOP efforts in their home state of Arizona to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election, have been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury as part of a probe into the former president’s so-called “fake electors” plot. 

• The news was first reported by Politico, which said the subpoenas do not indicate that Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is necessarily mulling criminal charges against either Biggs or Gosar. 

However, according to the outlet, the move by Mayes, who is reportedly close to making a decision on whether or not to indict, suggests investigators have “cast a far wider net… than previously understood.” 

The Jan. 6 committee found that both Biggs and Gosar attended a White House meeting with Trump on Dec. 21, 2020, to strategize on ways that then-Vice President Mike Pence could block the certification of the election results. Spokespeople for Gosar, Johnson and Mayes declined to comment.

US Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) have been subpoenaed by Arizona investigators to testify for a grand jury in connection to their efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Politico exclusively reports.
Politico notes as far-right Freedom Caucus chair at the time, Biggs, along "with Gosar were among the most vocal congressional supporters of Trump’s efforts to overturn Biden’s victory in Arizona," and both GOP lawmakers sought "to challenge the state’s presidential electors on Jan. 6, 2021, when Congress met to certify the results of the Electoral College."

The news outlet adds, "Gosar was mounting that challenge at the same moment a pro-Trump mob broke into the Capitol and halted proceedings."

Although there's no proof Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes will bring criminal charges against the pair, "the subpoenas themselves — in conjunction with a series of other aggressive recent moves — show that Mayes, a Democrat, has cast a far wider net in her probe than previously understood," Politico notes.

• "Getting a subpoena to testify in front of a grand jury is kind of rare," American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona Legal Director Jared Keenan said. 
• "And that’s why I think no one has challenged the secrecy law."

Some of the Arizona lawmakers' attempt to overturn the election according to investigators, includes Gosar's ongoing "relationships with activists organizing 'Stop the Steal' protests targeting Congress’ Jan. 6 session."

Regarding Biggs' actions, Politico reports, "text messages obtained by the Jan. 6 committee" show that "Biggs quickly contacted Trump’s White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, after Election Day 2020 to push for state legislatures to overrule the results in multiple states Biden won."

Additionally, "Biggs also told Meadows that Trump should not concede the election and reportedly worked with other Arizona Republicans to advance the fake elector effort."
