MAGA Influencers Forced to Cough Up Over a Million Bucks in Settlement With New York AG Over Robocalls Targeting Black Voters
"New York Attorney General Letitia James reached a settlement with MAGA pranksters Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman for their robocall scheme that sought to discourage Black Americans from voting during the 2020 election. In their out-of-court settlement, Wohl and Burkman were ordered to pay “up to $1.25 million.”
Wohl and Burkman were found liable by U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero in March 2023 for “targeting Black voters and transmitting false and threatening messages intended to discourage voting.” In a statement James released on Tuesday, she said:
Wohl and Burkman are allegedly responsible for conducting a robocall operation that took place in several other states including Michigan and Ohio, where the duo also faced criminal charges. The calls targeted Black constituencies and falsely claimed that voting by mail would put their personal data at risk. It was not hard to connect Wohl and Burkman with the calls since they were mentioned by name in them. Those calls reached about 85,000 people according to Marrero’s ruling back in October 2020."
