The lawyers of New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver believe new bodycam footage released by the U.S. district court in New Jersey may help the congresswoman in court after she was charged with two counts of assaulting, resisting and impeding law enforcement officials. In the newly released footage, an officer can be seen and heard talking on the phone with who he calls the "deputy attorney general of the United States," who orders the officers to arrest and handcuff Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
Lisa Rubin breaks down how this footage can be helpful to Rep. McIver in court and what happens next in this case.
