Reps. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar, two of the most vehement Donald Trump supporters in Congress who led GOP efforts in their home state of Arizona to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election, have been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury as part of a probe into the former president’s so-called “fake electors” plot. The news was first reported by Politico, which said the subpoenas do not indicate that Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is necessarily mulling criminal charges against either Biggs or Gosar. However, according to the outlet, the move by Mayes, who is reportedly close to making a decision on whether or not to indict, suggests investigators have “cast a far wider net… than previously understood.” The Jan. 6 committee found that both Biggs and Gosar attended a White House meeting with Trump on Dec. 21, 2020, to strategize on ways that then-Vice President Mike Pence could block the certification of the election results. Spokespeople for Gosar, Johnson and Mayes declined to comment.
