The Department of Justice announced charges Thursday against two Iranian nationals who are accused of engaging in a campaign to intimidate voters and influence the 2020 election.

Between August and November of 2020, Iranian nationals Seyyed Mohammad Hosein Musa Kazemi and Sajjad Kashian allegedly targeted election websites in 11 states and obtained information from more than 100,000 American voters.
