Rep. Paul Gosar: I’m off the hook in January 6 probe

WASHINGTON — Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) exclusively told Raw Story he’s no longer under a subpoena in Arizona’s state-level probe of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“They withdrew my subpoena,” Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) told Raw Story while walking back to his office at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

While Gosar reports being in the clear in the investigation into the state’s 2020 fake elector scheme, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) says he can’t discuss his own subpoena.

“In Arizona it is illegal to talk about that. I cannot talk about that under Arizona law,” Biggs told Raw Story on Wednesday.

Last week, Politico first reported that Gosar and Biggs were issued subpoenas by the grand jury empaneled by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat. Mayes is expected to drop indictments any day now.

Gosar alerted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of the subpoena back in February, but it remains unclear when or why his was withdrawn.

Gosar’s office didn’t respond to a request for details from Raw Story, and a spokesperson for Arizona’s attorney’s general office said they aren’t allowed to discuss grand juries.

Gosar has previously called January 6, 2021, rioters “peaceful patriots,” said the Capitol Police “executed” Ashli Babbitt as she tried to enter the Speaker’s Lobby that day. He’s also called for a “January 6th Truth and Reconciliation Committee to investigate the members of the original January 6th Committee.”

In the aftermath of now-President Joe Biden winning the 2020 election, Gosar reportedly pushed then-Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) to investigate the state’s Dominion Voting Systems machines.

“The thing about it is, now I have done nothing at all wrong,” Gosar told Raw Story.

But Gosar, a dentist by trade who’s serving his seventh term in Congress, says he’s clueless as to why his subpoena was withdrawn.

“I have no idea,” Gosar said. “I’m not an attorney.”

For his part, Biggs reportedly called then-Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) on the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, and pressured him to support the effort to decertify Arizona’s electors, as Bowers publicly told the Jan. 6 committee.

While he’s maintained his innocence, Biggs says he can’t discuss the grand jury inquiry.

And Biggs tells Raw Story he’s also in the dark as to why Gosar’s subpoena was withdrawn.

“I don’t know what’s going on with him,” Biggs said.

“But they haven’t done that with you?” Raw Story asked.

“I can’t talk about that,” Biggs said.

“I don’t want you going to jail!” Raw Story quipped.

“Sure you do,” Biggs laughed.
