Jury selection begins Monday for Sean Dunn, the former Justice Department paralegal dubbed the sandwich guy after a viral video showed him hurling a salami sub at a federal officer in Washington, D.C. Prosecutors filed a misdemeanor assault charge in August after a grand jury rejected a felony push. Dunn has pleaded not guilty. A judge refused the government’s bid to delay the case amid a dispute over jury instructions. Dunn’s lawyers call it selective and vindictive prosecution, while prosecutors point to a point-blank video. The episode, during backlash to Trump’s deployments, ended with Dunn fired from the DOJ.
