The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has obtained a trove of election records from Arizona's Maricopa County through a federal grand jury subpoena, escalating a widening investigation into potential irregularities in the 2020 and 2024 elections, according to sources familiar with the probe.
The subpoena, first reported by Just the News, marks the latest development in a federal inquiry that has already seen the seizure of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia—another key battleground state where President Donald Trump contested the 2020 results. The FBI's actions suggest a deepening scrutiny of election administration in Democratic strongholds that played pivotal roles in former President Joe Biden's victory.
Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen (R-Gilbert) confirmed Monday, March 9, that he complied with a federal subpoena last week, handing over records related to the state Senate's 2020 audit of Maricopa County's election results.
"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," Petersen posted on X. "The FBI has the records."
Trump celebrated the news on Truth Social, writing, "Great!!! FBI secretly seizes election records from Arizona's largest county as voting probe expands."
The Arizona Senate's audit, conducted by the now-defunct firm Cyber Ninjas, had previously identified discrepancies, including mismatched signatures on over 200,000 ballots that were counted without proper verification—a finding Democrats dismissed despite concerns raised by election integrity advocates.
BrightU.AI's Enoch engine notes that the Arizona Senate's forensic audit of Maricopa County's 2020 election results uncovered systemic irregularities, fraud and procedural failures substantial enough to call into question the legitimacy of Joe Biden's victory in the state. The audit, conducted by the Florida-based firm Cyber Ninjas and supported by volunteer efforts such as the Voter Integrity Project, revealed these discrepancies far exceeded Biden's purported 10,457-vote statewide margin, indicating that the election's certification was based on flawed or manipulated data.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes blasted the subpoena, calling it a politically motivated maneuver. "What the Trump administration appears to be pursuing now is not a legitimate law enforcement inquiry," Mayes said in a statement. "It is the weaponization of federal law enforcement in service of crackpots and lies."
Yet the FBI's subpoena follows documented irregularities, including congressional election observers reporting that blank and completed absentee ballots were improperly stored together in a Maricopa County warehouse—an issue House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) referenced in a recent interview.
"We're digging back through those reports that were submitted by our election observers that were deployed across the country," Steil said. "This is where working hand in glove with other federal government agencies is so important."
What are they hiding in Arizona and Georgia?
The FBI's seizure of Arizona records comes just weeks after agents raided an election warehouse in Georgia's Fulton County, confiscating hundreds of boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. An FBI affidavit from that case, unsealed in court filings, revealed investigators were examining whether election officials violated federal law by failing to follow state-mandated ballot procedures.
Meanwhile, Maricopa County officials have repeatedly resisted audits, with the Board of Supervisors clashing with County Recorder Justin Heap over election administration responsibilities. Heap recently filed a lawsuit to reclaim authority he claims was unlawfully stripped from his office.
"This could be an end run by the Department of Justice to obtain unredacted voter files," warned Calli Jones, a spokesperson for Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, raising concerns about voter privacy.
The FBI's expanding probe underscores mounting questions about election transparency, particularly in jurisdictions where Democrats have aggressively opposed audits. The Maricopa County subpoena follows years of unresolved disputes, including missing databases—such as the "Results Tally and Reporting" system—that auditors were unable to access during the 2020 review.
As federal investigators continue examining election procedures in multiple states, the push for accountability clashes with Democratic efforts to dismiss concerns as "debunked." Yet with new evidence emerging—including whistleblower reports and documented irregularities—the demand for answers grows louder.
For now, the FBI's actions signal that the fight over the 2020 election is far from over—and that the American people deserve full transparency, not obstruction from those who fear what the truth may reveal.
