For Star subscribers: Rep. David Livingston has asked the state Attorney General to investigate whether the Arizona governor used state resources to raise money for her inaugural expenses.
PHOENIX — A Republican lawmaker wants Attorney General Kris Mayes to investigate whether Katie Hobbs illegally used state resources to raise money in the name of paying inaugural expenses when most of the cash actually went into a fund that can be used for political campaigns.
Livingston said efforts to get more information about the fund have largely proven fruitless. And attorney Jonathan Berkon who said he is representing the Katie Hobbs Inaugural Fund, specifically rejected Livingston's request for a full accounting of all deposits to and withdrawal from the account, including the date, amount and purpose of each transaction.
Livingston, however, is raising questions about more than $17,000 he has been able to determine from documents already produced that has gone to Berkon's employer, Elias Law Group. That is the firm that has represented Hobbs in the ongoing lawsuit by failed gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake in her bid to overturn the election results.
Livingston said there there's a separate question of Hobbs, as governor-elect, raising money for the Arizona Democratic Party through sale of $150 tickets to the inaugural ball"advertised on the state website." A spokesman for the inaugural campaign declined to comment. And an aide to Mayes said her office has received Livingston's request for an investigation but said he could not say anything beyond that.
