A legal analyst said the Justice Department’s prosecution of Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is unraveling after newly released texts showed DOJ officials knew she did not assault a federal officer during a protest against immigration enforcement in Newark. On her podcast The Breakdown, Allison Gill said the department’s failure to turn over exculpatory evidence — including video that contradicts the charging document — amounts to a damaging cover-up that could sink the case. Gill called the withheld evidence a “case killer,” arguing the facts now undercut the Trump DOJ’s claims stemming from McIver’s arrest.
