A top Republican senator in Arizona is asking the state’s attorney general to probe Maricopa County officials over their refusal to fully comply with election audit subpoenas deemed lawful by a judge.

Arizona Senate Majority Whip Sonny Borrelli submitted a formal request on Aug. 3 to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a fellow Republican, to probe the county’s Board of Supervisors for the failure to comply.
