Arizona Rep. Calls for Federal Investigation into DAGA Bribery Scheme

Arizona Representative Abe Hamadeh is urging a federal investigation into alleged bribery and misconduct involving the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA). He claims court documents and financial records show serious constitutional issues, with DAGA influencing criminal prosecutions through financial payments to state attorneys general. Hamadeh, a former prosecutor, is alarmed by the potential denial of citizens fundamental constitutional rights. He points to Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes receiving $200,000 from DAGA, with $50,000 and $150,000 following the hiring of a group called SUDC and indictments, respectively. Hamadeh argues this setup potentially violates prosecutorial independence and due process, and suggests its designed to hide the flow of money and coordination between a partisan political organization and state law enforcement. He warns that if proven true, these allegations represent a fundamental corruption of prosecutorial independence and the rule of law, warranting a full investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
