, the Justice Department said on Thursday, the second arrest in a week by its election threats task force.
The Justice Department’s election threats task force was announced last June, shortly after Reuters published the first in a series of investigative reports that have documented more than 850 threats and menacing messages to U.S. election workers, including about 100 that legal experts say could be prosecuted under federal law.relentless false claims that the 2020 vote was “rigged” against himJustice Department officials say they are now investigating dozens of similar cases.
Despite Juncaj’s multiple threatening calls, state police decided not to charge Juncaj, Reuters found. State detectives concluded that Juncaj’s threats were “protected” political speech and not criminal, because the suspect merely said he “wished” election workers would die, according to a summary of the case.The Reuters report, however, contradicted the detective’s assessment. McElyea’s transcripts of the calls show that the man repeatedly told her she and her colleagues would be killed.
Following the Reuters story, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened an investigation into Juncaj, according to a Nevada state government source.
