F.B.I. Subpoenas Records in Arizona in Expansion of 2020 Voting Inquiry

The F.B.I. has expanded its criminal investigation into purported irregularities in the 2020 presidential election, issuing a grand jury subpoena for reams of information about voting results in Maricopa County, Ariz., the largest and most influential county in the swing state, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The subpoena was issued in recent days to the Arizona State Senate, which oversaw a sprawling but partisan audit of the vote result that was ordered by Senate Republicans in Maricopa County in the months after Donald J. Trump lost to Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Warren Petersen, the Republican president of the Arizona Senate, confirmed receiving the subpoena in a social media post on Monday.

“Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County,” he wrote. “The FBI has the records.”
