A longtime employee of the bipartisan organization The National Conference of State Legislatures, has been accused of maliciously leaking sensitive information of a private citizen to social media platforms.
Bakara Johnson, 56, of Washington DC posted several sensitive documents that contained the tax info, financial records, and partial social security number of filmmaker Tariq Nasheed to her twitter page, during the first week of January 2020.
It is speculated that this private info could only be accessed through internet servers from government or federally affiliated facilities, such as NCSL, Johnson’s place of employment.
Bakara Johnson is also affiliated with the intersectional LGBT organization ADOS, a group that has been targeting and harassing Tariq Nasheed for the last two months. The ADOS group has a reputation of getting into online conflicts with several media personalities. It is assumed that her malicious postings of Tariq Nasheed’s private information, was done on the behalf of the ADOS organization.
There is currently an internal investigation by the NCSL on Bakara Johnson’s activities. According to certain sources, it is suspected that Johnson is no longer employed by NCSL because of these allegations. Her voicemail has been removed from the NCSL call system, and her name is no longer in the company directory.
