DOJ Worker Fired, Charged for Throwing Sandwich at Officer

Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Thursday that Dunn has since been fired from the DOJ. She called the incident “an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months.”

“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you. I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice — NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony,” she said. “This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus the DOJ. You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.”

Pirro said she believed Dunn thought the sandwich-hurling was funny.

“He thought it was funny,” she said. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today because we charged him with a felony: assault on a police officer.”

Assault a law enforcement officer, and you’ll be prosecuted.

District residents expressed anger toward law enforcement on Wednesday night, shouting at them and warning drivers heading into traffic stops at a checkpoint in the district.

Pirro believes law enforcement should be backed no matter the circumstances.

“We’re gonna back the police to the hilt,” Pirro added, before smiling. “So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.”
