Arizona prosecutors seek access to trove of Trump allies’ emails, texts

Politico  

Arizona prosecutors are continuing to advance one of the only remaining significant criminal cases arising from Trump’s 2020 gambit to stay in power. The fight over the search warrants has been playing out quietly in court documents for the last few weeks and has provided new insights about the case Arizona intends to present against the Trump aides and allies — including 11 Arizona Republicans who falsely claimed to be legitimate presidential electors. According to the records, prosecutors issued 10 search warrants to tech companies in April and May for data related to the 18 defendants charged in the case, including Google, Apple and X. For example, prosecutors told the judge who issued the search warrant that “Meadows had confided in a staff member in early November that Trump had lost the election. Nevertheless, Trump wanted to keep fighting the election results, and Meadows wanted to help Trump.” Meadows argued that the notion of “helping Trump” was too vague to support the search warrant and provided “no information about the staff member’s identity, how the State obtained the information about Meadows’s purported statement to the staffer, the reliability of the staffer … or whether the State made any attempt to verify the staffer’s report.” In their response, prosecutors said the evidence came from “a witness known to investigators ” who “stated that Meadows had said he ‘wanted to help Trump,’ despite knowing Trump had lost the election.”
