CNN analyst Elie Honig blasted the Trump administration Friday evening after the Justice Department (DOJ) moved to subpoena Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over the unrest following protests over immigration enforcement in the state.

Honig, a former federal and state prosecutor, cast doubt on the strength of the department’s accusations that the elected officials subverted federal law enforcement officers.

“If you have public officials, as we do here, making political speech, even if it’s explosive, inflammatory, aggressive, and then that causes people to protest, or to call 9-1-1, that is simply not obstruction of justice,” he added. “If they bring an indictment for obstruction, I promise you, they will lose.”
