Leftist Group That Drew up Blueprints for ‘Get Trump’ Prosecutions Was on Retainer to ‘Advise’ Arizona AG

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes retained a leftist lawfare group last year for “election integrity,” just months before it briefed her office on prosecuting supporters of former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign.

“Our work will be provided pro bono. … We are pleased to have this opportunity to be of service and to work with you,” reads a May 4, 2023, letter from Christine Sun, senior vice president for the States United Democracy Center, to Chief Deputy Attorney General Dan Barr.

Barr signed the agreement with States United on May 15, 2023, according to the document. Jeff Clark, senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America, first published the contract on Dec. 22 on X.

The document explained “terms and conditions” under which States United would “advise the Arizona Attorney General’s Office … in connection with developing legal strategies to ensure the integrity and security of elections.”

The contract demands Mayes’ office “will cooperate fully with us [States United] in your matters.” It also stipulates relevant communications, “internal administrative material,” and “research notes” — “other than those with you or opposing counsel” — can be “destroyed in our sole discretion and consistent with our document preservation policies.” (Read more from “Leftist Group That Drew up Blueprints for ‘Get Trump’ Prosecutions Was on Retainer to ‘Advise’ Arizona AG” HERE)
