(VIDEO) Arizona Lawmakers Demand Further Review of Katie Hobbs Bribery Scheme After Far-Left AG Declines to Prosecute – Hobbs Responds

Arizona Republican lawmakers are calling for a thorough investigation into Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs regarding a potential pay-for-play scheme involving significant donations to the Democratic Party and funds for her inaugural events. Despite the Attorney General, also a Democrat, declining to file charges, lawmakers argue that the absence of criminal charges does not resolve questions of wasted taxpayer money or potential process failures. Governor Hobbs and the Democratic Party have denied any wrongdoing, characterizing the calls for investigation as political stunts.
