Democratic Rep. McIver charged with assault

New Jersey's top federal prosecutor announced assault charges Monday against Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver following an altercation with federal officers. The skirmish occurred after the arrest of Newark's mayor outside an immigration detention center. Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robert Menendez Jr., along with McIver, had previously denied any misconduct, asserting that federal agents provoked the situation by arresting the mayor.
