EXCERPT:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged the three defendants with assault and intimidation by force.
The Minneapolis family members who have been federally indicted for an alleged attack on Turning Point USA “Frontlines” reporter Savanah Hernandez have been granted temporary restraining orders against the reporter, Hernandez announced on Tuesday.
All three defendants, Chris, DeYanna, and Paige Ostroushko, alleged to the court that they are the victims of “harassment” and “assault” from Hernandez, who was mob assaulted by the defendants while reporting outside the Whipple Federal Building in April. Hernandez, who sustained physical injuries and a concussion, said the Ostroushkos “extensively lied” about her, as well as the events that unfolded that day, in order to receive emergency restraining orders.
Additionally, the defendants petitioned the court to impose a gag order on Hernandez, attempting to prevent the reporter from posting about the attack on social media, according to court filings. Court documents also show that the Ostroushkos are trying to get Hernandez, as well as her family, banned from the vicinity of the ICE facility and the Minnesota county in which they live. Hernandez has not been charged with a crime and is the victim in this case, as evidenced by ample video footage and indictments.
