Brnovich withheld reports on investigation that debunked 2020 election fraud claims – By Robert Anglen (Arizona Republic) / Feb 22, 2023
The Arizona Attorney General’s Office concluded months ago there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election results in Maricopa County ― but the state’s top prosecutor sat on the information and suppressed mitigating details, newly released records show.
An investigative report and two internal memos from 2022 indicate then-Attorney General Mark Brnovich was aware his investigators “did not uncover any criminality or fraud” in the 2020 election weeks before Brnovich reported the county’s election system was vulnerable and the process for verification and handling of early ballots was broken.
The three documents were made public Wednesday by newly elected Attorney General Kris Mayes, who described them as “deeply unsettling and unacceptable.”
