U.S. DOJ officials announce the recent developments in criminal cases involving threats against the election community in Arizona.
PHOENIX — There is more fallout from threats made against Arizona elections officials, as the Justice Department announced Monday an Ohio man will serve two and a half years in prison.
In this latest sentencing, 44-year-old Joshua Russell pleaded guilty after evidence showed he sent messages before and after the 2022 election threatening to kill Katie Hobbs, who was then serving as Secretary of State. “Death threats are not debate. Death threats do not contribute to the marketplace of ideas. Death threats are not first amendment-protected speech,” Keller said, adding that elections officials in Arizona have received an “onslaught of hostility” since 2020.Restaino said it will require a community-wide approach to combat misinformation that often incites threats.
