Trump's Posts BACKFIRE on DOJ in COURT - Legal AF
A civil rights lawyer who helped organize the St. Paul church protest challenged the government's use of mugshots as "trophies." Attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, a lead organizer of the protest, notified the court that the White House "altered" image of her "to make it falsely appear that she was crying and making her face darker."
"The government's fourteen page Indictment makes clear that the government is persecuting Ms. Levy-Armstrong and her co-defendants by attempting to turn a non-violent political protest directed at a federal government official into a federal felony case," her filing states. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News breaks it down. - 02/04/2026.
