"A federal prosecutor is in hot water with the attorney licensing board in Washington, D.C., over allegations that she relied on deceptively edited footage to prosecute anti-Donald Trump protesters and intentionally kept relevant footage away from defense attorneys."

"Jennifer Muyskens formerly worked in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office. She currently serves as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Utah.

In 2017, Muyskens was the driving force behind a series of failed prosecutions that aimed to put some 230 people behind bars for protesting Trump’s 2017 inauguration without the proper permits.

Now, she faces allegations she presented the defendants in a false light with videos obtained via notorious right-wing activist group Project Veritas and prevented the defendants from accessing additional information that supported their theories of the case."

"A former federal prosecutor in Washington, DC, is facing attorney discipline proceedings after allegedly obscuring evidence in cases against people who protested Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration."

"That evidence included video originally from the right-wing group Project Veritas, which the Justice Department prosecutor, Jennifer Kerkhoff Muyskens, formerly of the DC US Attorney’s Office, allegedly tried to obscure so the origin of the videos would be kept secret, according to a lengthy new complaint from the attorney discipline office in Washington, DC."
