JUST IN: Pam Bondi Punishes DOJ Employee For Assaulting Federal Agent

A protestor who threw a sandwich at federal officers in the streets of Washington, D.C. this week has been identified as a former employee with the U.S. Justice Department, Attorney General Pam Bondi recently revealed.

The man was caught on camera throwing a footlong sub into the chest of an officer who immediately gave chase as he tried to flee from the scene. Bondi said the man has been fired and charged with assaulting a federal agent.

“This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,” she said after the clip went viral.

Sean Dunn is accused of hurling expletives at U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers around 11 p.m. Wednesday on 14th Street NW.

According to the complaint, Dunn is said to have shouted, “F**k you! You f**king fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Officers from CBP and Metro Transit Police were in the area at the time.

“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,” Bondi posted online Thursday. “Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony.”

She added: “You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.”

During his arrest, Dunn allegedly told one officer, “I did it. I threw a sandwich.”

He has been charged with “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States,” according to the Washington Post.

A person who spoke with the outlet on condition of anonymity said Dunn was an international affairs specialist in the criminal division of the Justice Department. He is 37 and lives in D.C., according to a spokesperson from the office of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

WATCH:

More than 100 federal officers assisted the Metropolitan Police with keeping peace in the streets following President Donald Trump’s directive on Monday seizing control of the department. Officers reported arresting over 100 individuals in the first 24 hours, with some charged with illegal firearms possession or intent to sell narcotics.

Although liberals have decried the move, others have admitted how necessary it’s become at a time when crime remains elevated across the nation’s capital.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough revealed on Wednesday that he regularly speaks with Capitol Hill reporters who are afraid of being accosted while walking to work. Scarborough said he found it “interesting” to see some reporters wield facts and figures to push back against Trump’s narrative, while in private, they fear for their safety.

“This is interesting,” Scarborough said. “I actually heard from a reporter when this happened, going, ‘Well, you know, if he doesn’t overreach, this could actually be a good thing for quality of life,’ etc, because in DC right now, I had this happen to my family and I had that, and they go down the list. And then I saw him tweet something completely different.”
