Michael T. van der Veen, criminal defense attorney at van der Veen, Hartshorn & Levin, was recently featured in Newsweek, offering legal insight into whether California election officials could face criminal prosecution over disputed voter eligibility.
The article, “Trump Threatens California Election Officials With Jail. Could It Happen?”, examines the legal implications of the Justice Department's warnings to California election officials.
“The Justice Department’s warning isn't the same as proving criminal liability,” van der Veen explained, emphasizing that prosecutors must establish criminal wrongdoing beyond a reasonable doubt.
