CBSN
Washington — 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, 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, Kelli Ward. 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 Arizona Republic first reported the existence of the subpoena.
