Key takeaways:
- Former Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers has been interviewed by the FBI as part of an ongoing investigation into attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
- Former President Donald Trump was indicted last month on 37 federal criminal counts related to his handling of classified documents.
- The investigation is part of a larger effort to uncover any attempts to interfere with the 2020 presidential election.
Today, former Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers confirmed that he has been interviewed by the FBI as part of an ongoing investigation into attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. This adds new context to the Justice Department’s probe and suggests a broad scope for any potential charges that could encompass misbehavior conducted across multiple states.
In a separate case, former President Donald Trump was indicted last month on 37 federal criminal counts related to his handling of classified documents. Today, Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta is scheduled to be arraigned in South Florida. This is the third time Nauta’s arraignment has been postponed, as he has yet to obtain local counsel. If Nauta still doesn’t have local counsel today, it’s possible the magistrate judge will assign him a public defender rather than delay arraignment again.
Bowers told CNN’s Kaitlin Collins he was interviewed for about four hours a few months ago as part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of Trump and his allies’ efforts after he lost the 2020 race to Joe Biden. Bowers said he was hesitant to talk about any subpoenas, and that “a lot of things happened.”
It is unclear what the outcome of the investigation will be, but it is likely that more information will be revealed later today. The investigation is part of a larger effort to uncover any attempts to interfere with the 2020 presidential election.
