Major Jason Watson, a US Air Force officer, faces military charges

Major Jason Watson, a US Air Force officer, faces military charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for publicly calling for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during a protest at the US Capitol in July. He was detained while holding a sign and later appeared on CNN reiterating his stance. Watson's lawyer, Christopher Mutimer, highlighted the risks Watson knew he faced but chose to take a stand. The Air Force confirmed charges under three articles, including Article 88, which prohibits using "contemptuous words against the President, Vice President, or Congress." Watson remains in pre-trial confinement.
