Fact-checking allegations of irregularities in Arizona audit
CNN
As Republicans continue to question the legitimacy of the 2020 election, the controversial audit taking place in Arizona's Maricopa County is receiving national attention over charges of election irregularities. Following a pause in the audit, Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas and former President Donald Trump weighed in on the ongoing dispute between the Arizona state Senate President, the Arizona Secretary of State's office and Maricopa County over this so-called audit.
On the House floor Friday, Gohmert alluded to some sort of "cover up" and made a baseless, vague accusation of "evidence being destroyed." And in a statement Saturday, Trump took the allegations a step further, claiming, "The entire Database of Maricopa County in Arizona has been DELETED." Facts First: Maricopa County officials responsible for overseeing elections have refuted these allegations.More Related News
