A special prosecutor in Virginia said Monday that he's presented two indictments of election fraud against someone who worked on a failed re-election campaign for a Republican congressman last year. Special prosecutor Donald Caldwell said his investigation into Scott Taylor's 2018 campaign in Virginia's 2nd Congressional District is still ongoing. The scandal started after some of Taylor's campaign staffers were accused last summer of forging voter signatures to place a third-party "spoiler candidate" on November's ballot. Taylor released a statement that said Caldwell's news release "makes it concretely clear, as I have maintained all along, I knew nothing about any illegal actions that transpired." Caldwell wrote that the indictments against the campaign staffer for election fraud "are supported by proof beyond a reasonable doubt."
