On Monday, US Marshalls took into custody Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of True the Vote, for refusing to identify a confidential informant. Federal Judge Kenneth Hoyt ordered that Engelbrcht and Phillips be held in custody for at least a day, until they divulge that information.
Engelbrecht and Phillips testified that identifying the confidential informant would put his life at risk.
- The arrest of the pair is the latest in a civil suit filed in September by Konnech, a Michigan-based company that provides software to elections offices regarding poll worker management, according to Votebeat Texas.
During this meeting, True the Vote was allegedly given proof that Konnech had been storing the personal data of "millions" of poll workers in a China-based server.
- According to Votebeat, "True the Vote then used that information to fuel months of vaguely defined accusations about the company and Yu in podcasts and appearances."
A second unnamed person had been present, a "confidential informant" for the FBI.
- True the Vote's legal team released a name in a hearing earlier this month, Mike Hasson, stating that the analyst is in "danger from forces of the Chinese Communist party."
- They only released the name, not adding contact information or more detailed information regarding his identity.
