A US District Chief Judge has rebuked an ex-GOP operative, Anton Lazzaro, for allegedly sending a fake survey to a juror who served on his 2023 sex trafficking trial. The juror received a $100 gift card and repeated text messages after initially refusing to respond, leading the judge to prohibit further contact without court permission. Lazzaro is serving a 21-year prison sentence after being found guilty of federal trafficking charges.
