Arizona Republicans Push for Independent Investigation into Hobbs 'Pay to Play' Allegations

Calls for Maricopa County Attorney to lead probe amid concerns over ethical conflicts in current investigation.

Attorney General Kris Mayes has already initiated an investigation following allegations involving Sunshine Residential Homes and Governor Hobbs.
Republican officials argue that Mayes has a conflict of interest due to past political donations and are requesting her recusal.
Treasurer Kimberly Yee emphasizes the need for financial accountability and the misuse of public funds in the alleged scheme.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell is being urged to open a separate investigation to avoid potential ethical conflicts.
Governor Hobbs has not addressed the allegations publicly, and the Attorney General's office is advising against parallel investigations.
