Congressman Josh Brecheen has called for the resignation of Arizona Attorney General Kristin Mayes and the dismissal of a lawsuit against former Trump officials who questioned the results of the 2020 election. Brecheen's demand was articulated in a letter co-signed by Representatives Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Troy Nehls (R-TX).

In an exclusive report by Breitbart’s Bradley Jaye, Brecheen criticized Mayes' decision to indict several individuals on April 23, 2024. The letter states: “We write concerning your egregious decision on April 23rd, 2024, to indict several individuals for questioning the results of the 2020 election. Not only is this a violation of the 1st Amendment, it is blatant interference in the 2024 election."

The congressmen argue that questioning election results falls under free speech protections. "Every American has the right to free speech, including the right to question the results of elections," they wrote. "Your choice to indict American citizens for expressing constitutional rights represents the worst of machine politics, and we intend to take every action available to Congress to rectify your decision."

Brecheen further accused Mayes of initiating a politically motivated case. “Clearly, your intention is not to follow the law but to initiate a political witch hunt,” he stated. He questioned why the case was brought forward now and not earlier or by previous attorneys general.

The letter concludes with a call for Mayes’ resignation and an ultimatum: “Due to this egregious violation of your duty and oath to the state of Arizona, we request that you drop this frivolous lawsuit and resign your office by June 1st, 2024. If you do not, we the undersigned look forward to using the full extent of our authorized powers to rectify your abuse of office.”
