Bondi reveals DC man who hurled sandwich at officers worked for DOJ
Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed the man charged with hurling a Subway sandwich at a federal officer in DC was an employee of the Department of Justice. Bondi sent out a post on X on Thursday morning announcing the ex-employee, Sean Dunn, was fired following the incident.
'If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,' Bondi declared. '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.'
The attorney general added, 'This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ.' 'You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.'
After throwing the sandwich, allegedly Dunn attempts to escape on foot but is later arrested by nearby DC law enforcement. Footage of the sandwich assault quickly went viral on social media with millions of views.
'And we're going to back the police to the hilt. So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else!' Photos and video from the viral scene show a pink collared shirt-wearing individual being taken by CBP and FBI agents.
Dunn's arrest comes as the Trump administration opens a crime crackdown across the nation's capital with the support of federal police and the National Guard.

StanChart shares fall 9% after US lawmaker calls for probe
LONDON, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Standard Chartered (STAN.L), opens new tab shares fell nearly 9% on Friday after a U.S. Republican lawmaker wrote to the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, asking for a probe to be launched into the bank, claiming it was involved in sanctions evasion. Elise Stefanik, a New York Republican, requested in a letter shared on the X social media platform and published on her website that a special attorney be appointed to look into Standard Chartered's alleged failings. Stefanik said that an unspecified case against Standard Chartered was due to expire next week and urged action before that date. Standard Chartered said in a statement that the underlying allegations in a long-running civil case were "entirely false" and had been rejected by U.S. courts multiple times. The claimant had been pursuing the claims since 2012, the bank has previously said. "We expect the dismissal of this case will continue to be upheld on appeal," the bank said on Friday, adding it would fully cooperate with any relevant authorities and was committed to fighting financial crime. The Attorney General's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The bank's shares, which had been about 1.5% lower earlier on Friday, plunged almost 9% before closing down 7.2%. One trader linked the share move to the letter. Like other European lenders, Standard Chartered's stock has risen sharply this year on robust earnings and hit a near 12-year high earlier this week. Standard Chartered has previously been the subject of U.S. scrutiny. The bank agreed to pay $1.1 billion in 2019 to U.S. and British authorities over transactions which breached sanctions against Iran and other countries. The bank was also the subject of a U.S. deferred prosecution agreement, which in 2019 was extended for two years.
