Adding another layer to the story, Gagan suggested that internal dynamics within the DA’s office might be influencing the push against Hamilton, hinting at personal animosities linked to Hamilton’s past interactions with a former colleague now employed by Soares’ office. The DA’s office, however, has outright denied any involvement or manipulation in the proceedings against Hamilton, dismissing such claims as baseless.

When questioned about the existence of a court document indicating the tampering charge, she retorted sharply, emphasizing the need for accurate understanding and reporting of legal documents. “It’s a piece of paper. Do you understand what words mean?” she challenged, warning against the misuse of such information.
