US Air Force Major Jason Watson faces military charges for calling for Trump impeachment
The US Air Force is pursuing charges against Major Jason Watson under the Uniform Code of Military Justice after he publicly called for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Watson, an active-duty officer, was detained in July during a protest at the US Capitol and later repeated his call on CNN. He faces charges including Article 88 violations for using contemptuous words against the president.
