Two right-wing operatives with a history of peddling conspiracy theories are now facing the consequences of orchestrating a more real conspiracy of their own.
Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman agreed to pay up to $1.25 million to the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James after being charged with overseeing a 2020 election robocall campaign aimed at suppressing Black voter turnout, NBC News reported. The speaker on the robocalls identified herself as "Tamika Taylor of Project 1599," and falsely told around 5,500 Black voters in New York that casting ballots by mail would alert creditors and put the them on a public database used by police departments to track down people with outstanding warrants.
