13:11Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover the firing of Miami federal prosecutor Will Rosenzweig, terminated by then-Attorney General Pam Bondi within three hours of a viral post from 24-year-old War Room correspondent Natalie Winters, who resurfaced a blog Rosenzweig wrote years before joining the Justice Department criticizing Trump's fitness for office. Brian details the fallout: Rosenzweig was the lead prosecutor about two weeks from trying a multimillion-dollar Medicare fraud case against defendants Michael Kocan and Sandro Herek, one of whom followed Winters on social media, and his sudden removal nearly forced prosecutors to seek dismissal of the case entirely before a judge pushed the trial back. Kocan and Herek were later convicted, with Kocan sentenced to 17 years and ordered to repay $19 million, the exact kind of fraud prosecution the administration claims to prioritize. Shant walks through Winters' own background, from Steve Bannon's War Room to a rejected National Press Club membership, and her great-replacement-theory commentary about preserving American "heritage and culture." Brian's bottom line: Rosenzweig's lawsuit fits a growing pattern of prosecutors fired for constitutionally protected speech, and courts have sided with those plaintiffs before.
