CNN
The Justice Department has referred former acting Washington US Attorney Michael Sherwin's unapproved interview with "60 Minutes" on Sunday about the Capitol riot cases to its Office of Professional Responsibility, a department lawyer said in court on Tuesday.
"Rules and procedures were not complied with" when Sherwin did the interview, said John Crabb, Jr., a leading criminal prosecutor for the US Attorney's Office in DC. In court, DC District Judge Amit Mehta strongly warned the Justice Department and defense attorneys in the Oath Keepers conspiracy Capitol riot case not to talk to the media.More Related News
