New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella on Tuesday announced his office had identified two Texas based companies and an individual as behind the fake Joe Biden robocall that went out to Granite Staters discouraging them from voting in last month’s primary, CNN reports.
“We have issued a cease-and-desist letter to Life Corporation that orders the company to immediately desist violating New Hampshire election laws. We have also opened a criminal investigation, and we are taking next steps in that investigation, sending document preservation notices and subpoenas to Life Corporation, Lingo Telecom, and any other individual or entity,” said Formella, stressing that the investigation continues and more entities will be named.
“I’m not going to give you an exact number but I can say it’s beyond the two – it’s beyond Texas Life Corporation, Walter Monk, and Lingo Telecom. There are other entities that we think have relevant information, and I would not be surprised if we discover additional entities or individuals beyond those that we have discovered up to this point,” Formella told reporters.
