FCC proposes $5 million robocall fine against right-wing operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman
CNN
The Federal Communications Commission proposed a record-breaking $5 million fine against right-wing political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman on Tuesday, after an investigation by the agency found that the two men appeared to have violated US robocalling laws.
The decision, which is not yet final, follows charges by Michigan's attorney general last year linked to hundreds of robocalls allegedly created by Wohl and Burkman and designed to discourage voting in the 2020 election. The robocalls allegedly warned listeners that voters' personal information would be used against them by credit card companies and police departments. In May, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a separate lawsuit against Wohl and Burkman over similar allegations of voter suppression.More Related News
