Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, argued that newly confirmed facts in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia undermine the defense’s central claim of vindictive prosecution.
“This fact flies in the face of that narrative because it suggests this case was completely organic and again, came through the media and public reporting,” Pappert said during Wednesday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show, pointing to federal filings that acknowledge investigators first learned of the case through reporting by The Star.
