Federal investigators investigating former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election have contacted former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, his spokesperson said.

“He has been contacted. He has responded and will do the right thing, as he has done since the election,” spokesman Daniel Scarpinato said. CNN I reported the development status for the first time.

Ducey, a Republican, served as governor during a period when President Trump allegedly tried to overturn a losing election. During Ducey’s live broadcast on Nov. 30, 2020, when he certified the state’s results, his cell phone rang and was interrupted, and the camera was seen silencing the phone. “Long live the chief” was heard ringing, and Ducey later confirmed it was from Mr. Trump.

he said then President Trump never asked not to sign the certificateaccording to the Associated Press.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said: “Facing the Nation” Earlier this month, he also called Ducey after the 2020 election.

“We have confirmed not only with Governor Ducey, but also with other governors and states that have legal proceedings to review the results of the election,” Pence said. “But there was no pressure … I was calling to get an update. I passed that information on to the president. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Pence said “no” when asked if he had been pressured by Trump to pressure Ducey to change the outcome of the Arizona election.

Ducey’s reaction to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigators comes amid growing signs that: Trump could be indicted within the probe. On Tuesday, President Trump letter The Department of Justice identified him as a subject of criminal investigation.

According to senior Trump sources, the targeted letter highlights three federal laws. Two of his statutes include conspiracy to commit crimes or fraud against the United States and possible disqualification under law. The third shows potential charges ranging from obstruction of official process to tampering with witnesses, victims and informants. Hundreds of defendants have been indicted on obstruction-related charges in a Justice Department investigation into the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol.

President Trump said he had been given the opportunity to testify before a federal grand jury. He reiterated allegations that the special counsel was conducting a “witch hunt” and criticized the investigation as “a complete and total political weaponization of law enforcement.”

Trump has filed similar charges against prosecutors in two other cases indicted in New York and Florida, as well as an investigation in Georgia, and could soon be indicted.

In the New York case, President Trump on April 4 pleaded not guilty to a 34-state felony charge of falsifying business records related to alleged “hush money” paid to adult movie stars days before the 2016 presidential election.

In a Florida lawsuit filed by Smith’s office, Trump pleaded not guilty on June 13 to 37 federal felony counts related to alleged “intentional retention” of national security information after he left the White House.

In Georgia, the Fulton County District Attorney has suggested that Trump and those close to him may soon be indicted in connection with an attempt to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election.
