Carson City judge who denied Trump campaign lawsuit threatened Reno-Gazette-Journal 1/15/2021 Associated Press, Reno Gazette Journal
CARSON CITY Carson City s district attorney said authorities are investigating a threat made against a state judge who dismissed a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump s campaign seeking to nullify President-elect Joe Biden s electoral win in Nevada.
Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong and District Attorney Jason Woodbury have refused to provide any details about the threat made against District Judge James Todd Russell, the son of a former Nevada Republican governor. The investigation remains active, Woodbury wrote in an email this week to The Associated Press. I expect the investigation to be submitted to my office for a charging decision as soon as it is concluded.
