Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee has called for a criminal investigation into the state's securities and investments management. This comes amidst allegations of a 'pay-for-play' scheme involving Governor Katie Hobbs and a DCS contract with Sunshine Residential Homes. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has stated that her office does not need external help in investigating these allegations. However, Representative Livingston and others have called for Mayes to recuse herself due to a potential conflict of interest, suggesting that Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell and the Arizona auditor general take over the investigation. Governor Hobbs has refused to comment on the allegations or the potential for dual investigations by Mayes and Mitchell.
