A new criminal investigation is under investigation in the Grand Canyon State into alleged attempts by Republicans to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, put a group of prosecutors on the case back in May which appears to focus on 22 Republicans who signed and transmitted official documents “claiming to be the state’s chosen electors for Trump in the electoral college,” The Washington Post reported.

One set of documents was signed by GOP activists while another set was signed by Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and other “high-profile Republicans,” the report said.

Investigators have already made contact with many of those who allegedly signed the documents and their attorneys, the report said.

Trump does not appear to be a target in the criminal investigation at this point but that could change depending on if new evidence emerges in the case. A similar criminal investigation is also underway in Michigan over alleged attempts by Republicans in the state to overturn the results of the election.

The former President is already under indictment in two cases, one out of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office that is deemed by many to be weak and politically motivated and another from special counsel Jack Smith, which experts say is far more serious.

Trump also faces a criminal indictment in Georgia over his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and he faces a second federal criminal investigation from Smith over the same matter.

The Washington Post reported at the start of the month that Trump allegedly tried to pressure then-Arizona Governor Doug Ducey “to overturn the state’s presidential election results, saying that if enough fraudulent votes could be found it would overcome Trump’s narrow loss in Arizona.”

The report said that Trump repeatedly asked then-Vice President Mike Pence to contact Ducey and push him to find evidence to support Trump’s claims.

“I don’t remember any pressure,” Pence told CBS News earlier this month, adding that he checked in with governors across the nation whose states “were going through the legal process of reviewing their election results.”

Actor Ron Perlman shared – and then deleted — a video of himself railing against studio executives, apparently threatening to destroy the home of one individual whose name he did not reveal.

Perlman’s comments come as the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) announced Thursday that it would join with the Writers Guild of America in the first joint strike since the 1960s. On the table are issues such as the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and residuals for streaming content.

Perlman referenced an unnamed studio exec who, according to a report from Deadline, had argued that the strike should drag on until writers and actors came to the table in desperation once they started “losing their apartments and losing their houses.”

“One more thing before I get off here,” he said. “The mother***er who said we’re going to keep this thing going until people start losing their houses and their apartments, listen to me, motherf***er, there’s a lot of ways to lose your house. Some of it is financial, some of it is karma, and some of it is just figuring out who the f*** said that.”

“And we know who said that and where he f***ing lives,” Perlman continued. “There’s a lot of ways to lose your house. You wish that on people, you wish that families starve, while you’re making $27 f***ing million a year for creating nothing? Be careful, motherf***er. Be really careful, ’cause that’s the kind of s*** that stirs s*** up.”

The “Hellboy” actor has made headlines numerous times for his social media posts, once referring to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as a “Nazi pig” over the Parental Rights in Education law — despite the fact that he clearly did not understand what it did.

“Good morning, Governor DeSantis,” Perlman began with a leering smile. “Ron here. Um, don’t say gay? Don’t say… as the first two words of a sentence spoken by a political leader of a state in the United States of America? Don’t say gay? Don’t f***ing say gay you f***ing Nazi pig? Say. First Amendment. Read about it. Then run for office. You piece of s***.”

The Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro responded to Perlman at the time, saying simply, “You are literally too stupid to insult.”
