Reports circulating online claim the Department of Justice has launched what critics call a 'fishing expedition' against California election officials in a criminal probe. Among those said to be targeted is current California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, a Democrat. It remains unclear what criminal charges federal prosecutors might pursue, and no formal charges have been confirmed, but the claim is drawing attention in election-related discussions.
