A D.C. jury showed no appetite for the Trump administration’s case against a man who threw a salami sandwich at a federal agent earlier this year, acquitting the 37-year-old after seven hours of deliberation.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office said Sean Dunn, an Air Force veteran, was not on trial for protesting but for “throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range.”
After deliberations stretched into a second day, a trial jury dismissed the government’s misdemeanor charge, which they earlier agreed to downgrade from a felony.
