Trump’s DOJ Charges Its First Democratic Lawmaker

A Democratic congresswoman was charged Monday by President Donald Trump’s handpicked U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver is facing a federal assault charge over a confrontation with authorities while visiting an ICE detention facility in her home state of New Jersey earlier this month.

The charge was announced Monday by Alina Habba, a former personal attorney for Trump who he nominated earlier this year to serve as acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
