Local Nevada CBS station KLAS reported that sources close to the situation said warrant served to McDonald was related to the bureau’s ongoing investigation into former President Trump attempted to persuade states in 2020 to submit alternate slates of electors, in an alleged attempt to change the outcome of the presidential race that he lost.

Just the News on Thursday attempted by email to reach McDonald's office to confirm the report. The office had not responded before this story was posted. 

FBI agents were unable to locate state party Secretary James DeGraffenreid, who was named in a separate search warrant related to the investigation, according to the news report.

In Dec. 2020, Nevada Republicans sent the National Archives a legally meritless certification of their state’s votes for Donald Trump. The Jan. 6 Committee had earlier this year subpoenaed McDonald relating to the false document. 

President Joe Biden won Nevada’s six electoral votes by more than 2%.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge issued a warrant Thursday for an eyewitness to the shooting death of rapper Nipsey Hussle for failing to appear to testify at the trial of the man charged in the slaying, and in his absence a police detective testified on the reluctance of witnesses that has marked the case.

Evan “Rimpau” MacKenzie, a close friend of Hussle’s who was a pallbearer at his funeral and was standing next to him when he was shot, has repeatedly ignored subpoenas ordering him to appear and testify for the prosecution, resulting in Judge H. Clay Jacke II issuing the bench warrant with $500,000 bail.

“Mr. Mackenzie, did he express a reluctance to testify?” Aaron Jansen, attorney for defendant Eric Holder, asked Los Angeles police Detective Cedric Washington, who answered that MacKenzie had said as much in phone conversations.

The taboo against “snitching” has pervaded every part of the trial of Holder, who is charged with first-degree murder in the 2019 death of Hussle and with attempted murder because two bystanders were struck with gunfire.
