Aug. 27 A federal grand jury declined to indict a fired Department of Justice paralegal accused of throwing a salami sub at a federal officer deployed in Washington, D.C.
Prosecutors sought to charge Sean Charles Dunn, 37, with felony assault of a Customs and Border Protection officer on Aug. 10. The New York Times reported Tuesday that prosecutors couldn’t persuade grand jurors to indict him in the high-profile case. CNBC also confirmed the no-bill.
The Washingtonian magazine described him as „DC’s hero.“
After the incident, Dunn was fired.
„This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ“, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X on Aug. 14. „You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.“
The incident occurred at the corner of 14th and U Streets Northwest, which is a nightlife spot.
As seen in a video, Dunn yelled obscenities, calling the agents „fascists“ and said, „Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city.
