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.
