Two right-wing conspiracy theorists who placed thousands of robocalls with false information to largely minority and Democratic voters in Cleveland in the months before the November 2020 election pleaded guilty on Monday to a felony charge.
Jacob Wohl, 24, of Irvine, California, and Jack Burkman, 56, of Arlington, Virginia, face a maximum of a year in prison after they pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony charge of telecommunications fraud.
The Federal Communications Commission last year recommended that the pair pay a $5.1 million fine for the robocalls, which at the time was the largest forfeiture that the commission had sought in a robocall case, according to a news release.
[They face similar charges in Michigan.]
