Tom Alexandrovich, an Israeli government official involved in U.S. social media censorship, was arrested in early August in Nevada as part of a sting operation targeting attempts to lure a 15-year-old girl for sex. After posting bail, Alexandrovich was allowed to leave the United States and return to Israel. He subsequently missed his arraignment hearing in Henderson, Nevada, prompting a judge to order that all future court appearances be conducted via video link. The case has drawn attention to the handling of the matter by the acting U.S. attorney in Nevada, who permitted Alexandrovich to flee the country. The investigation has also highlighted concerns regarding past campaign donors and alleged bureaucratic issues within the U.S. Department of Justice under the Trump administration.
