One reason for the delegation could be the long-running rift between the Secretary of State and Brnovich on myriad issues, one of which prompted Hobbs to file a State Bar complaint against the attorney general. That complaint resulted in Brnovich signing a diversion agreement with the State Bar earlier this year.
This is at least the second time McIntyre has been tagged by Brnovich to handle a high profile matter.
In 2017, the Arizona Supreme Court directed the attorney general to review a 2013 finding that former Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne had violated campaign finance laws during the 2010 election. Brnovich delegated the review to McIntyre to avoid a claim of a conflict given that Horne lost to Brnovich in the 2014 Republican primary.
