"So much so that the president has been pulling and twisting the levers of the U.S. government, seeking to ensure he never loses again. It's been a slow creep, as the Justice Department and FBI work to obtain as many states' sensitive voter details as the agencies can get their hands on, hoping to build a fraudulent case that America's elections are not safe."
"On Monday, Arizona Republican Senate President Warren Petersen-an election denier who has called for decertifying the 2020 election results-took to X to announce that he had received a grand-jury subpoena for all of its records related to the Senate's 2020 audit of Maricopa County and happily complied. 'The FBI has the records,' Petersen confirmed."
"Remember the name Cyber Ninjas? It's a cybersecurity company based in Florida that was hired by the Arizona Legislature back in 2021 to conduct an audit of the state's 2020 election, despite not having any prior experience with election security."
Trump continues contesting his 2020 election loss by leveraging federal agencies to gather sensitive voter information from states. The Justice Department and FBI have seized voter records from Georgia and Arizona, with the latter complying with a grand-jury subpoena for records from the state's 2020 election audit. Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, an election denier, confirmed receipt and compliance with the subpoena. Trump publicly celebrated these actions on Truth Social. The effort involves scrutinizing Arizona's controversial 2020 audit conducted by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based cybersecurity company with no prior election security experience hired by the Arizona Legislature in 2021.
