the former acting U. S attorney for the District

00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:05.980
of Columbia is under investigation after doing an interview with

00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:08.970
60 Minutes about the capital riot. A district judge

00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:13.039
says Michael Sherwin likely violated Justice Department ruled by talking

00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.170
about possible criminal charges in potentially affecting the jury pool

00:00:17.170 --> 00:00:19.670
and the rights of the defendants. The judge says

00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:22.460
she Irwin's case should serve as a warning that similar

00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:25.160
conversations with the media will not be tolerated.
