Mustard Stain Incident: Court Hears of “Exploding” Sandwich, Agent’s Testimony Questioned
During the trial of a Washington D.C. protester, a Customs and Border Patrol agent testified that a sandwich thrown by the defendant “exploded” upon impact with his uniform. The incident, captured on video, involved the protester hurling the sandwich and obscenities at officers deployed by President Trump. While the defense argues the act was harmless, the prosecution maintains that the act constitutes a misdemeanor assault, even though felony charges were initially sought. The incident has gained attention as the deployment of federal agents to the city sparked controversy.
