Former Attorney General Brnovich faces State Bar charges after documents show he concealed election report

Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich faces potential threats to his law license after the release of documents showing the two-term Republican concealed his own investigators’ findings that debunked fellow Republicans’ claims of election fraud.

Eight Bar charges have been filed against Brnovich in the last two days, according to the State Bar of Arizona.

“The State Bar has received charges against Mark Brnovich related to the election audit issue. The charges are in the prescreening process. There is no further public information available,” Bar spokesman Joe Hengemuehler said in a prepared statement.

A Bar charge is the first step in investigating potential violations of Arizona’s Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys.

A Bar charge could lead to a formal complaint against the state’s former top prosecutor and possible discipline by the State Bar.
