Arizona official who delayed county’s 2022 election certification didn’t have immunity, court says

An appeals court has rejected an Arizona official’s argument that felony charges against him for delaying certification of his rural county’s 2022 election results should be dismissed because he has legislative immunity.

In an order Tuesday, the Arizona Court of Appeals concluded Cochise County Supervisor Tom Crosby’s duty to certify the election results wasn’t discretionary. The court also said certifying election results is an administrative responsibility and that legislative immunity doesn’t apply to Crosby’s situation.

The decision is here.

Musk warns of lawsuits over media coverage of Tesla Cybertruck explosion

Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned he’d consider suing media outlets over their coverage of the Cybertruck explosion that took place outside of the Trump hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday.

Musk “should consider suing outlets who framed the story like this,” conservative activist Robby Starbuck posted on X, along with a screenshot of an article about the incident from Business Insider, which is owned by Axel Springer, POLITICO’s parent company. “These headlines are sabotaging @Tesla’s brand by making people think it caught on fire. There’s about 1 Tesla fire for every 130 million miles traveled. Other cars have 1 every 18 million miles.”
