As reported earlier, a J6 political prisoner pardoned by Trump was killed by an Indiana police officer on Sunday.

FOX 32 Chicago reported at 4:15 p.m. local time Sunday that 42-year-old Matthew W. Huttle of Hobart, Indiana, was stopped by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop near the Pulaski County line.  Police say the deputy attempted to arrest Huttle after stopping him, but the civilian resisted.

Officers said Huttle had a gun but have not said where it was or if it was in his possession when he was killed.

The officer responded by firing his weapon and killing Huttle following a supposed fight.

Investigative journalist Yehuda Miller and The Gateway Pundit reached out to Jasper County Sheriff Williamson following the news of the deadly shooting. We FOIAed video of the incident from the police cameras.

Sheriff Williamson told us that because this was an open investigation, he would not release the footage!

The video will only be released when the investigation is completed.

Matthew’s father told I-Team 8 this week that his son was murdered by the Indiana sheriff’s deputy.

That is all we know about Matthew Huttle’s death at this time.

Despite this, Dirty Dick Durbin, the disgraceful Democrat Senator from Illinois, used Matthew’s death to smear January 6 defendants Thursday during Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Democrat Senator Dick Durbin: I woke up today to National Public Radio and they had an item on there about what has happened to those who were given blanket clemency by President Trump. One of these individuals was a man named Matthew Huttle. Are you familiar with him?

Kash Patel: What was his last name?… If you could remind me, Senator.

Dick Durbin: Well I was reminded again this morning, he’s a man who’s been found guilty of numerous crimes. The one described this morning was outrageous situation where he beat his 3-year-old child to the point where the poor kid couldn’t even sit down for a week. Mr. Huttle was one of the demonstrators who came to the Capitol on January 6. He was incarcerated and pled guilty to crimes that he had committed. Violence against police officers. After he was released by President Trump he returned to his home state of Indiana. A few days later, he was stopped on the road, pulled a gun on a policeman. The deputy turned, shot, and killed him.

This is not the only incidence for a person who received President Trump’s clemency committing another crime.

We don’t even have the details OR the video of Matthew Huttle’s death and Democrats are already making up stories about this poor man.

What awful people. Absolutely, horrible.

Six individuals associated with the Skating Club of Boston have been identified among the victims of a tragic midair collision.

The doomed American Airlines flight, a Bombardier CRJ700 carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, took off from Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) en route to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).

Among those on board were elite members of the U.S. figure skating program, many of whom were expected to compete in the next Winter Olympics. Tragically, all aboard the aircraft are feared dead.

“Last night and into this morning, we were informed of a pretty horrific tragedy. To the best of our knowledge, 14 skaters returning home from the National Development Camp at Wichita, Kansas, put on by U.S. Figure Skating, were lost in the plane crash at Washington, D.C. Of those 14 skaters, six were from the Skating Club of Boston—two coaches, two teenage athletes, and the athletes’ moms,” said Doug Zeghibe, CEO and executive director for Skating Club of Boston.

The Skating Club of Boston confirmed the loss of two esteemed coaches, Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, both former world champion figure skaters.

Shishkova, 52, and Naumov, 55, clinched the pairs title at the 1994 World Championships and have been integral members of the club since 2017.

Also among the victims were two promising young athletes: 16-year-old Spencer Lane and 15-year-old Jinna Han. Both were returning from a U.S. Figure Skating national development camp in Wichita.

Their mothers, Christine Lane and Jin Han, respectively, were accompanying them and also died in the crash.

“These kids and their parents—they’re here at our facility in Norwood six, sometimes seven, days a week. It’s a close, great bond. I think, for all of us, we have lost them,” said Zeghibe.

“We sent, here at this club, 18 skaters to Wichita to compete at the U.S. Championships, and 12 skaters were at the National Development Camp. Six is a horrific number for us, but we’re fortunate and grateful it wasn’t more than six.”

WATCH:

One of the victims, Spencer Lane, unknowingly documented his final moments, sharing a photo from inside the jet before takeoff. He captioned it simply, “ICT -> DCA.”

Figure skater Spencer Lane posted a photo from the doomed plane on the runway leaving Wichita bound for DC just hours ago.

He has not been heard from since.

Meanwhile, young American figure skater Jon Maravilla narrowly escaped tragedy after being denied boarding because his dog was deemed too big for the flight.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, Maravilla recounted his decision to take a car instead, a twist of fate that saved his life.

Another skater, Anton Spiridonov, was initially reported among the victims, but he later confirmed via Instagram that he was never on the flight.

“I was not on this flight, thank you for everyone’s concern for my safety. My heart goes out to all the families affected by this tragedy,” he wrote.

Authorities continue to identify victims and investigate the full circumstances of the collision.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth provided an update on the devastating midair collision that occurred last night in Washington, D.C., between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and a civilian airliner.

The crash, which resulted in a tragic loss of life, is under urgent investigation by military officials.

At approximately 8:48 p.m., a UH-60 Black Hawk assigned to the U.S. Army Aviation Brigade at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, collided with the civilian aircraft.

The Army unit involved was identified as Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, based at Fort Belvoir.

The Black Hawk’s crew was operating under night vision conditions, and the purpose of the flight was to maintain required operational proficiency.

Secretary Hegseth highlighted the experience of the crew involved, though details on their identities remain withheld pending next-of-kin notifications.

“It was an annual proficiency training flight,” said Hegseth in a video statement.

“When we look at the crew, and not all can have been notified, so we’re going to withhold the ranks and names at this point. We do know on our side who was involved.

He added, “It was a fairly experienced crew that was doing a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles.”

In response to the tragedy, the Army’s Health Aviation Battalion has been granted a 48-hour operational pause on contingency missions as officials review what happened.

A senior-level aviation investigative team from the Army’s Aviation Safety Center was immediately deployed to Washington, D.C., to conduct a thorough investigation.

Hegseth emphasized that officials expect to quickly determine whether the aircraft was in the correct airspace and altitude at the time of the crash.

“We anticipate that the investigation will quickly be able to determine whether the aircraft was in the quarter and at the right altitude at the time of the incident,” he said.

“As I mentioned, next-of-kin notifications are ongoing. It’s a tragedy—a horrible loss of life—for those 64 souls on that civilian airline and, of course, the three soldiers in that Black Hawk. They’re in our prayers, as are their families and their communities.

“As people are notified, I can’t imagine what they are going through. I know it has gone from a rescue mission to a recovery mission, and we stand with all the first responders who are actively working.

“At the Defense Department, our thoughts and prayers go out. We are actively investigating to determine what happened and why. As we get updates, you will have them. God bless,” he concluded.

President Trump’s FBI Director nominee, Kash Patel, has already claimed his first Democrat victim in what is expected to be a highly contentious confirmation hearing.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Patel sat down this morning to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee for confirmation beginning at 9:30 A.M. Patel’s impressive qualifications include several high-ranking positions in the intelligence and defense communities, such as Department of Defense Chief of Staff and Deputy Director of National Intelligence under President Trump.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported that Patel is already working with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and building plans to crush the deep state. Comer revealed that he had a lengthy discussion with Kash Patel and said, “Mr. Patel is the right man for the job. He recognizes the importance of ending the weaponization of federal law enforcement and holding Deep State bureaucrats accountable. Change is here!”

But these facts do not matter to Democrats, especially Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL). As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Durbin has gone all out to stop Patel. He has sent letters to the Justice Department, Department of Defense, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), accusing Patel of working to undermine the transition process between Donald Trump and Joe Biden following the widespread fraud that occurred during the 2020 presidential election.

But he got a cold taste of reality when he tried to ambush Patel on the J6 pardons.

“Do you think America is safer because 1600 people have been given the opportunity to come out of prison and live in our communities again?” Durbin asked.

After telling Durbin he had not had an opportunity to review all the pardons and making clear he had no tolerance for those who harm law enforcement, Patel destroyed him with this brutal reminder:

I also believe that America is not safer because of Biden’s commutation of a man who murdered two FBI agents…The man that point-blank range fired a shotgun into their heads and murdered them was released from prison.”

The person Patel was referring to was far-left ‘Native American rights’ activist Leonard Peltier, who not only killed two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation but also escaped from federal prison.

Patel then dropped Durbin on his head when the senator accused him of racism.

“I certainly don’t believe that an individual who is the first minority to serve as the Deputy Director of National Security is a racist and detest any conjecture to the contrary.”

An Iraqi Christian who burned a Quran outside a mosque in Sweden has been brutally murdered.

Salwan Momika, 38, is reported to have been gunned down at his apartment in Södertälje, Stockholm, on Wednesday evening.

He is said to have been live-streaming around the time of his death.

Five people have since been arrested in connection with the assassination.

Momika became the subject of international attention in 2023 after he staged several burnings of the Islamic holy book, including one outside a mosque.

His actions led to outrage among Muslims in Sweden and in Muslim nations, sparking protests and even anti-Swedish riots as a result.

Momika arrived in Sweden from Iraq in 2018 and was eventually granted a three-year residence permit in 2021.

In 2023, The Swedish Migration Agency decided to expel him from the country.

This decision was later reversed on the grounds of the persecution he would have faced if sent back to Iraq.

However, the Swedish government worked to criminalize his anti-Islam activism on the grounds of incitement racial hatred.

His trial was specifically in connection to statements he made around the Quran burnings, with prosecutors charging him with racial hatred.

A verdict in that case was intended to be handed down this morning.

Various individuals, including the prominent British activist Tommy Robinson, paid tribute to Momika and the price he paid for expressing his views.
