Arizona’s governor hasn’t been ‘indicted’ by the state senate, contrary to viral claim
Associated PressSocial media users are falsely claiming that Arizona’s governor has been “indicted” by local lawmakers. The Republican leadership in Arizona’s state Senate say no such indictment has been issued, and the state legislature isn’t authorized to issue such formal accusations of criminal wrongdoing. THE FACTS: Social media users are suggesting Arizona lawmakers have brought criminal charges against the state’s sitting governor. “BREAKING: Arizona Senate has laid out RICO indictments against Katie Hobbs and others in violation of RICO ACT-13-2301, including bribery, racketeering, money laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking, aiding and abetting the Sinaloa Cartel, and election fraud,” read many of the posts on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
