The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump has filed a motion to dismiss all charges against an Army veteran who deliberately torched the Stars and Stripes in Lafayette Park right outside the White House, just hours after Trump signed an executive order directing the feds to prosecute flag burners.

On Friday, the DOJ filed a motion to dismiss the federal charges against Jay (Jan) Carey, a 55-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Arden, North Carolina.
