A 44-year-old Ohio man was charged in federal court with threatening an elections official in Arizona, another person whose life was tragically altered because he believed Donald Trump’s election lies.
NBC News reports Joshua Russell of Bucyrus, Ohio was charged by a federal grand jury in Phoenix on three counts each of making a threatening interstate communication and making a threatening interstate telephone call. Russell allegedly called an official for the Arizona Secretary of State three times from September to November, calling the official a “traitor” and a “terrorist” in voicemails. If convicted Russell faces up to 20 years in prison.
