Arizona could become the next state to indict former President Donald Trump or members of his inner circle in connection to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to his staunchest allies.

Trump has been indicted in four cases since March, with two at the state level and two at the federal level. The most recent two are based on his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and remain in power, with special counsel Jack Smith charging him over attempts to disrupt the certification of the results with so-called alternate or fake electors and the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney's office charging him and 18 others for alleged election interference.

DONALD TRUMP INDICTED: GEORGIA PARDON LAW UNDER SCRUTINY

The Aug. 14 indictment in Fulton County cites Arizona 18 times in reference to his allies allegedly contacting local lawmakers in an attempt to get them to overturn the election results in his favor. Days later, Trump ally and failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake claimed her former opponent, Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ), and Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes would indict Trump "ASAP," according to an Aug. 17 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"We are investigating the fake electors," Mayes confirmed to local media on Aug. 16, one day before Lake's online comments. "We are doing a thorough and professional investigation. We will do it on our timetable, as justice demands."

Also in the Fulton County indictment were references to defendants in the alleged scheme engaging in "similar schemes" in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Fake electors in Georgia and Michigan are facing several counts, including making false statements, conspiracy, and corruption charges, though Trump himself is not facing any charges in the Great Lakes State.

Hobbs responded with an affirmative "absolutely" last week when asked if she hopes to see Arizona's fake electors face criminal charges. "I have been an advocate for holding folks involved in trying to overturn the will of the voters in the 2020 election accountable, and this is part of that process,” Hobbs said.

But Hobbs's media spokesperson later said she "misheard the question."

"She was responding generally about her belief that anyone who breaks the law must be held accountable for working to overturn free and fair elections," Hobbs's spokesperson said. "As she has consistently stated, she believes in allowing the legal process to proceed independently and without political interference."

Among those who allegedly participated in the alternate electors' scheme in Arizona are former Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward, her spouse, Michael, state Republican Sens. Anthony Kern and Jake Hoffman, and seven other Republicans who filmed themselves signing and sending their own election certification in 2020.

Other allies of Trump, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), have suggested that Arizona officials may soon indict Trump.

“Well, I'm sure Arizona is next," Greene said on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures. “This is a conspiracy, a grand conspiracy by the Democrat Party to use the justice system at the federal level but also in the states, using these state DA’s like in Georgia, Fani Willis."

There are other citations in the indictment that give hints that Arizona could be eyeing Trump's third state-level indictment since March.

The Georgia indictment alleged that Trump called then-Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican, to overturn Trump's election loss. It claimed Trump called Bowers around Christmas of 2020 "for the purpose of soliciting, requesting, and importuning Bowers to unlawfully appoint presidential electors from Arizona."

Bowers said in response: "I voted for you. I worked for you. I campaigned for you. I just won't do anything illegal for you."

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat who campaigned last year while calling for an investigation into Trump, said last week that he would help Mayes in any way with her investigation.

"As far as the indictment is concerned, or future potential charges in Arizona, that's the attorney general's job at this stage of the game," Fontes, who assumed Hobbs's previous role, said last week. "We will support Kris Mayes and her efforts and her team with any information, any background, any technical expertise that the secretary's office may need to lend in the future."
