    Federal prosecutors have interviewed the secretaries of state for both Pennsylvania and New Mexico in recent months as part of the ongoing investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, two sources
    familiar with the probe told CNN earlier this month.

    The interviews, which had not been previously reported, indicate that
    special counsel Jack Smith has focused on actions taken by former
    President Donald Trump and his allies in seven key battleground states as
    they sought to upend Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

    Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt met with prosecutors working
    with Smith in March, one of the sources said.

    Schmidt, a Republican, was asked about issues he encountered while
    serving as Philadelphia City Commissioner, including how misinformation
    about widespread voter fraud impacted him and other election officials at
    the time, the source told CNN. Schmidt was appointed to be secretary of
    the commonwealth earlier this year.
