Capitol protestant airman: detention deepens after impeachment call

US Air Force Major Jason Watson, who spoke at the Capitol last month urging President Trump’s impeachment, has been detained again and ordered into pretrial confinement at a Maryland facility amid unclear misconduct allegations. The Air Force says there is probable cause to support continued misconduct, while Watson’s lawyer suspects his CNN interview may have influenced the decision. Watson was previously arrested on July 1 for protesting in uniform on the Capitol steps, a rare form of dissent within the military which prohibits political activities in uniform.

Ex-Capitol Officer Sues Blaze Media Over Jan. 6 Pipe-Bomb Allegation

A former Capitol Police officer, Shauni Kerkhoff, now with the CIA, filed a defamation lawsuit in Virginia against Blaze Media and two reporters, alleging they used a flawed gait-analysis to falsely claim she planted pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC the night before Jan. 6, 2021. The DOJ did not support the pipe-bomber theory, and the suit argues the reporting spurred conspiracy theories, threats, and an FBI probe. Kerkhoff seeks unspecified damages; Blaze has not commented publicly.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett confirms the security team member killed in a Dallas police standoff was Diamon Mazairre Robinson, who had been using the alias “Mike King” while working as her security contractor; Robinson fled officers after a March 11 car stop, was found in a hospital parking garage, and was shot after drawing a handgun.
