Fact check
“Sheridan has previously told Arizona Luminaria and ProPublica that he disagreed with Judge Snow’s ruling.”

On confidence: The claim is directly quoted in two independent excerpts from the same ProPublica article, which explicitly state that Sheridan told Arizona Luminaria and ProPublica he disagreed with Judge Snow’s ruling.
