Air Force Major Arrested After Advocating Impeachment at Capitol

An active-duty U.S. Air Force Major, Jason Watson, was arrested on the Capitol steps after speaking at a news conference urging President Trump’s impeachment. Capitol Police said the demonstration was illegal on the House steps unless a member of Congress was present; Watson refused officers’ orders and was charged with crowding, obstructing, and incommoding. The incident underscores restrictions on service members’ political activity in uniform and highlights tensions around impeachment efforts.
