MAGA is pushing the Trump administration to explain why an Israeli official who was arrested in an undercover child sex sting in Nevada was allowed to leave the U.S. after posting bail
- Alexandrovich posted a $10,000 bail without appearing before a judge and quickly fled to Israel, raising questions about why his passport was not confiscated.
But acting U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah, whose jurisdiction covers Nevada, posted on social media: "The individual who fled our country should have had his passport seized by the state authorities. He must be returned immediately to face justice."
- Chattah said that Attorney General Pam Bondi was "outraged" and placed calls to both her and FBI Director Kash Patel.
Some voices have taken specific aim at Chattah, who was born in Israel.
- "The U.S. attorney general who released him is Israeli-born Sigal Chattah. Makes sense now!" posted Candace Owens, who misstated Chattah's role.
- Chattah's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the backlash.
Sounds like a conspiracy to me...
