Justice Dept. Task Force Makes First Indictment Over Threatening Election Officials
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In related news, the Justice Department charged a man Friday with
publicly calling for the killing of Georgia election officials one day
before the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Chad Christopher Stark of
Texas called on "Georgia Patriots" to "put a bullet" in one official.
Stark is the first person to be charged under the Justice Department's
Election Threats Task Force, which was created last June.
