True the Vote leaders, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, testified in court to being FBI confidential informants who helped during a 16-month investigation into a Michigan software company.
The founder and a contractor for a Houston nonprofit testified under oath last week that they were former FBI confidential informants who worked alongside law enforcement during a 16-month investigation into a software company they allege shared election poll worker data with the Chinese government., and contractor Gregg Phillips, accused Konnech Inc.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt granted a temporary restraining order on Sept. 12 against the defendants due to Konnech having"a substantial likelihood of success" in winning the lawsuit. Hoyt prohibited True the Vote from accessing Konnech's computers and ordered Engelbrecht and Phillips to identify everyone who hacked the company's servers.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt held Engelbrecht and Phillips in contempt of court after both refused to divulge the name of the unidentified FBI informant who they acknowledged they'd met during previous run-ins over the years. "He's a patriot," Engelbrecht testified about Hasson's reasoning for delivering the data to the FBI."My definition is when you see things that harm this country or countrymen, and if there's a means by which you can report that appropriately and lawfully, then to do so is a patriotic act."
The DA's office stated publicly that True the Vote did help in their investigation into Konnech and Yu. To confirm the data's legitimacy, the criminal team called around to different government agencies and asked about its authenticity. This prompted the FBI to withdraw Engelbrecht and Phillips' confidential informant status, according to testimony.
