It is on the government to prove that the password given caused the wipe which is going to be difficult to do since they seemingly damaged the phone while they had it. All they noted was some flashes and a rebooting phone, so what did they do to fuck it up a private citizens property while they had it in custody?

And to prove he knew he was under investigation. Because their case seems to hinge on the idea that he destroyed evidence while under investigation. They didn't ask him about the protests. They asked him about CP/CSAM. Is he under investigation for CSAM?

Exactly. Even then, many phones including those by Google and Samsung have the option to wipe themselves after too many failed attempts. Whose to say they didn't type it in wrong or the individual under duress couldn't remember their password? Or that the cops intentionally wiped the device to claim the individual was hiding something that they weren't. I don't see how any reasonable judge can believe anything the feds claim after they've already admitted to lying in court, when they ignore the law and judges orders, oh and on top of it all they protect pedophiles like Trump!
