Bundy Says Wearing Jail Scrubs Show He's Political Prisoner

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Ore. — Sep 15, 2016, 5:25 PM ET

Ammon Bundy says he has switched his courtroom attire from a suit to jail scrubs to show that he's a political prisoner.

After wearing a suit jacket for the first two days of his trial, Bundy on Thursday wore scrubs during his trial on charges related to the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

In a statement read by one of his attorneys, Bundy said he wants to drop the facade he is presumed innocent, and dress like the political prisoner he is.

Bundy's clothing was an issue before trial, when he was not allowed to wear cowboy boots.
