(CNN) Special counsel Jack Smiths team has contacted former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, who Donald Trump pressured to overturn the 2020 election, a source familiar with the outreach confirms CNN.
A spokesman for Ducey confirmed the outreach from Smiths team, which has not been previously reported.
Yes, hes been contacted. Hes been responsive, and just as hes done since the election, he will do the right thing, Ducey spokesman Daniel Scarpinato told CNN.
Trump narrowly lost Arizona to Joe Biden by less than 11,000 votes. Trump publicly attacked Ducey, a former ally, over the states certification of the results. As Ducey was certifying the election results in November 2020, Trump appeared to call the governor with a Hail to the Chief ringtone heard playing on Duceys phone. Ducey did not take that call but later said he spoke with Trump, though he did not describe the specifics of the conversation.
