Mellissa Carone, the star witness in a Michigan hearing who claimed massive voter fraud, was recently released from probation after sending her fiance’s ex-wife pornographic videos.
She was previously charged under the name Mellissa Wright with first degree obscenity and using a computer to commit a crime. Under a plea agreement, she reduced her charge to disorderly conduct and received 12 months of probation, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County, Michigan, prosecutor’s office told HuffPost. Her probation ended on Sept. 13, just weeks before Election Day, when a temporary staffing agency employed Carone to assist Dominion Voting Systems in Detroit.

However, in a Saturday interview with HuffPost, she claimed it was her fiance who actually sent the videos to the ex, and that she took a plea deal to not spend more time in court. The fiance corroborated that story.
“The reason I got charged for it is it was sent off of my phone,” Carone, a self-proclaimed cybersecurity analyst, told HuffPost. “I just said screw it, I’m going to have to take it.”
HuffPost asked America’s mayor, Rudy Giuliani, about the whole affair and Mellissa’s credibility.
“There is no rule that people coming off probation are incredible as a matter of law,” Giuliani texted HuffPost when asked about Carone’s credibility. “I don’t know her circumstances, but her testimony is corroborated by other witnesses, documentary evidence and expert testimony.” Giuliani also took the opportunity to point out that Hunter Biden used cocaine.
Carone’s LinkedIn page also had some interesting tidbits.
Carone apparently had an internship as a cyber security analyst for Ciber Global from May 2019 to August 2020. Her duties “required critical thinking and exceptional problem solving skills” and “required the ability to stay calm under pressure.”
She further wrote that she is a “certified ethical hacker.”
