Sandwich Toss Case Tests Politics In Court

Federal prosecutors in Washington are seeking to convict Sean Charles Dunn, accused of throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent in a viral video during President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge. After a grand jury declined a felony, he faces a misdemeanor in a trial Judge Carl Nichols expects to last two days. Defense lawyers cite a raid on his home publicized by the White House, his firing, and political posts to allege selective prosecution; prosecutors call it a straightforward assault. Jury selection ran Monday, with opening statements set for Tuesday.
