These abuses of power by prosecutors to target their political enemies, and in this case, engage in election interference, and as we note, Trump won Arizona. One of those issues relates to the abuse of President Trump, not only here in D.C., but in other states, including in Arizona, where they’ve targeted Trump. They’ve targeted his allies, leaders of the Republican Party, Americans simply for disputing an election, but there was a real specific abuse that we thought was interesting in figuring out what was going on around, and that was the Democratic Attorney General. So Trump comes out and says something about Liz Cheney, like Liz Cheney, I’m paraphrasing, is a warmonger, and these warmongers should go onto battlefields and know what it’s like to be shot at.

She somehow, the left-wing Attorney General of Arizona, suggested that he was threatening her with being killed. It was an absurd interpretation, but she ran with it, suggested he committed a crime, and kind of ran around to the media, promoting it. So we investigated it, and here’s a report initially on what we found. A Judicial Watch Open Records lawsuit reveals that Arizona Attorney General Chris Mays seems to have used her office for political purposes by threatening to prosecute President Trump on the eve of the 2024 presidential election. In the final days before the 2024 presidential election, Mays publicly stated that she had directed her Criminal Division Chief to investigate this comment made by Trump about former Congresswoman Liz Cheney.

Judicial Watch filed a public records request in November 2024 for documents related to this investigation. Only one document, supposedly tied to a criminal investigation, was located, but was ultimately withheld from disclosure. However, dozens of media-related documents show the Attorney General engaged in a media campaign, suggesting Trump committed a prosecutable crime. I have already asked my Criminal Division Chiefs to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona’s laws. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said this about the matter. Our lawsuit and investigation into the Democratic Arizona Attorney General shows that the announcement of the investigation on the Friday before the 2024 presidential election was a sham to try to influence the outcome of the election in an important swing state.

This is yet another example of lawfare abuse targeting Trump. Attorney General Mays officially ended the investigation on November 13, 2024, just days after President Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. President Trump won Arizona by over five and a half percent. So there was no investigation. It was a pretend investigation. They wrote a memo. They don’t want to give us the memo. But that wasn’t the point, wasn’t it? Or was it? The point was to falsely suggest a crime, quite obviously, and feed it to liberal media. So we sued for records. Tell us about this criminal investigation.

There was no criminal investigation. It was a memo saying there’s no crime. But we did get lots of documents of her walking around the media telling everyone who would listen deeply troubling Arizona AG investigating Trump over possible death threat. Trump investigated by Arizona AG over gun comments about Liz Cheney. Arizona AG to investigate Trump’s Liz Cheney comment as a potential death threat goes on and on. We highlighted the television interviews about it. What an abuse of power. All to try to rig an election in the last minute with this smear of President Trump having committed a crime when he was making the rather obvious point about what people have called chicken hawks.

And Judicial Watch exposed it. And these abuses of power by prosecutors to target their political enemies, and in this case, engage in election interference. And as we note, Trump won Arizona. So it failed. Who knows? Maybe he could have won by 10%. Maybe other candidates could have won as a result of more Republicans coming out. I don’t know. There are other cases, you know, when a president’s vote is suppressed or the changes, it affects other races as well directly and indirectly. So it is election interference. If I were the Justice Department, I’d be investigating that.

Abusing your office to mess with an election? I think there’s more to be found here. And this isn’t our only lawsuit. I’m not going to talk about the other one we have yet because I don’t literally have it in front of me. So people can be doing that. I’ll talk about it soon. I mean, we are not just active in Washington, D.C. Obviously, this is where the federal government is. This is where all the money is spent, practically speaking. A lot of the corruption takes place here. But there’s a lot of corruption in the states.

And the corrupt politicians here in D.C. sometimes collude with these other politicians at the state level. We saw this with the prosecutions of Trump, right, with Fannie Willis and Alvin Bragg and company. But we are second to none, not only in investigating corruption here in our nation’s capital, but in the states. There are a few states where we haven’t investigated. I’m sure there are some. I can’t go through the list without my head. But we’re active in Arizona. We’re active in California, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia. Here in the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, Hawaii, Alaska, New York, Vermont.

We’ve been everywhere. We’re everywhere. Judicial Watch, when it comes to fighting government corruption, Judicial Watch is the nation’s leader, both here in Washington D.C. and in the several states. It’s just great work. It’s just great work. [tr:trw].
