CNN — A former Trump 2020 campaign official has been subpoenaed by officials in Arizona as part of the criminal investigation focused on efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s win, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The official, Mike Roman, is also one of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia election subversion case. He’s being subpoenaed by prosecutors as part of a separate state-level probe overseen by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat. Sources told CNN that Mayes is nearing a decision on whether to bring criminal charges.

CNN previously reported that prosecutors in Arizona have issued several grand jury subpoenas in recent weeks to people connected to efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election results there. The subpoenas suggest the probe is accelerating ahead of the 2024 presidential election, when Trump is expected to again face Biden as the Republican nominee.

Mayes has primarily focused her investigation on the 11 fake pro-Trump electors from Arizona and organizers of the effort, but sources familiar with the probe said she’s also looking into individuals tied to the former president’s national campaign.
