The U.S. Air Force has announced an investigation into a uniformed officer who called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during a protest event on the steps of the Capitol.

Investigation Details

Major Jason Watson, the active-duty officer in question, denounced Trump and Vance on Wednesday for actions including going to war with Iran without congressional authorization, according to a video of the protest event posted online.

Without mentioning Watson by name, the office of Air Force Secretary Troy Meink acknowledged reports about an Air Force officer protesting at the Capitol and said in a statement that an investigation “will proceed unimpeded.”

Laws governing U.S. military service members place restrictions on their political activities, particularly while in uniform. Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice also prohibits officers from using “contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress” and other U.S. representatives.
