The DOJ provided Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs with a list of 405 people it alleges are noncitizens who voted, as shown by the DOJ's own press release, CBS, and AP reporting.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… I brought it up to Neil Floyd. Has this story that basically is scoffing. I mean, you read it, it reads as one big, like, "Oh my gosh, annoying Republicans." The headline: "Acting US. Attorney claims 405 non-citizens voted in Washington but offers no charges or records. A week before Election Day, federal prosecutors make a sweeping fraud claim without evidence to back it up." First of all, they didn't make a sweeping fraud claim. …

Supports. The U.S. Attorney's Office press release says the leaders of the two Washington U.S. Attorney's Offices called on state election officials to segregate ballots cast by more than 400 people who appear to be illegally registered, and the list was provided to the state.[3]
Supports. CBS News reports that Floyd and Serrano said they provided Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs with a list of the 405 people the Justice Department believes are not U.S. citizens.[4]
Supports. AP reports that the Justice Department sent a letter to Hobbs identifying more than 400 people it alleges registered to vote without citizenship, and Reuters confirms the letter asked the state not to count their ballots.[1][2]
Contradicts. Hobbs called the list 'deeply flawed' and 'not reliable,' saying it includes U.S. citizens and lacks individualized proof. This disputes the list's accuracy but does not contradict that the DOJ provided it.[5][6]
Context. KING 5 reports that no criminal charges have been filed in the 405 cases and that the DOJ lacks official voting records for those people, which bears on the allegations rather than on whether the list was delivered.[7]
