Law & Crime reports:
Right-wing activists, hoaxers and alleged fraudsters Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl gave testimony in a civil case on Monday morning. And some of what was said might have less than positive implications for their upcoming criminal trial in Michigan.
The decidedly bumbling duo was sued in New York federal court in late October by the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP), a self-described and decades-old nonpartisan civil rights and racial justice organization, for allegedly violating the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.
Burkman and Wohl reportedly struggled over basic factual issuesespecially when asked to account for their documented and voluminous history of hoaxes and smears. The duo was also forced by the judge to account for whether or not they targeted specific areas with their robocalls.
