Democratic lawmakers demand answers from Trump administration on extremists serving in U.S. military by CEDickson, realchriswilson

Firearms and ammunition found after law enforcement agents executed a federal search warrant at Christopher Paul Hasson's residence. House Democrats are calling upon the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to address renewed concern over the incidence of white supremacy and other extremist affiliations among members of the military, following the recent arrest of a letter

According to court records, Hasson’s military career began in the Marine Corps, where he served from 1998 to approximately 1993, followed by two years of active duty with the Army National Guard. Since 2016, the 49-year-old lieutenant had been working as an acquisitions officer at the Coast Guard’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In a phone interview with Yahoo News Monday, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, one of the signatories of the letter, compared the “very disturbing pattern that has begun to emerge of racist and white supremacist activity taking place in the armed forces,” to the issue of “sexual assault and sexual harassment within the military: It just doesn't have any place there.”
