It is a sentence that echoes through Washington: \"That is a lie. And I cannot put my name on such a document.\" With these words, former government attorney Erez Reuveni said on CBS\u2019s 60 Minutes what many had long known \u2013 that the Trump administration had instructed him to make false statements in a court proceeding regarding Kilmar \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda. Reuveni, who had worked for years at the Justice Department, reported that he had refused to sign a statement portraying \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda as a member of the notorious MS-13 gang. \"That is neither factually correct nor legally defensible. That is a lie,\" he said. Shortly thereafter, he lost his position. In one of the first hearings, Reuveni contradicted the Justice Department\u2019s accusations directly in court, causing a stir.
