The FBI arrested a Nevada man for allegedly making several threatening phone calls to the Nevada Secretary of State's Office on the morning after the attack on the US Capitol, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
This is the second person arrested by DOJ's Elections Threats Task Force, which was launched last June to address the rise in threats against election officials. Election supervisors and the rank-and-file workers across the country have reported a barrage of threats spurred by falsehoods that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
Prosecutors say Gjergi Luke Juncaj, 50, threatened an employee in the Elections Division during four phone calls on January 7, 2021. He was arrested Wednesday in Las Vegas.
