DOJ receives 850 reports of threats to election workers

The Justice Department says it has received more than 850 referrals of potentially threatening or harassing threats against election officials and workers. Many are said to have been prompted by former President Trump, who repeatedly raised unfounded doubts about the 2020 presidential election. Threats to other public officials are rising as well. Jeff Pegues reports.

“CBS Saturday Morning” co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts.
