Georgia Man Arrested in Pro-Trump Capitol Riot Dies by Suicide


Jan 13 - Christopher Stanton Georgia, a man from the state of Georgia who was recently arrested for participating in last Wednesday's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, died on Saturday by suicide after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.

Georgia had been charged with "entering certain property, that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police" past the set Washington D.C. curfew of 6 p.m. local time. He was arrested with three other men in his group.

Georgia was just one of 70 of the arrestees who have been charged for their role in last Wednesday's riot when supporters of Donald Trump raided the Capitol to overturn the results of the November 2020 presidential election. Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin has promised "hundreds" more arrests are forthcoming.     continue to read

Senator Schumer News Conference in New York

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to have the Senate quickly reconvene to vote on the impeachment resolution against President Trump, should it pass the House of Representatives in the next couple of days. Sen. Schumer said a 2004 law allows the majority and minority leaders, by themselves, to agree to reconvene the Senate in an emergency situation, rather than by having to reach a unanimous consent agreement among all senators, which Sen. McConnell said was required. Sen. Schumer also called on the FBI and TSA to add individuals to the no-fly list who participated in the attack on the U.S. Capitol the previous week. Additionally, the minority leader condemned President Trump for his comments earlier in the day in which he assumed no responsibility for his part in inciting the riot and instead blamed others. The news conference held on the streets of New York City was temporarily interrupted by a protester.
