Former President Donald Trump made a campaign stop in the Valley Thursday. Here's a recap of the event.

APACHE COUNTY, Ariz. — Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes' decision to search the Apache County Attorney's Office earlier this week was in connection to an investigation into possible misuse of public funds, according to a letter released Friday.

"Seeking and executing a warrant on a County Attorney’s office was a significant decision that I did not take lightly," Mayes wrote."Since serving the search warrant, County Attorney Michael Whiting has not returned to the office, and attorneys from the office are now calling on him to resign." In Whiting's absence, Mayes said her office will be providing supervisory assistance over the county attorney's office for the next 90 days. If Whiting is to return, then he must"obtain approval from the Criminal Division Chief of office before making personnel decisions or expending more than $200."
