#FirstAmendment crimes in Trump era: - Laughing at Jeff Sessions. - Asking Tom Price and Kellyanne

Conway questions





CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WDTV) -- According to the American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia, a West Virginia journalist was arrested for allegedly asking Tom Price, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Kellyanne Conway, Special Counsel to the President of the United States, a question.

WSAZ reports that according to the criminal complaint, Dan Heyman was arrested after “aggressively breaching the Secret Service agents to the point where the agents were forced to remove him a couple of times from the area walking up the hallway in the main building of the Capitol.”

The complaint goes on to say that Heyman caused a disturbance by “yelling questions at Ms. Conway and Secretary Price.”

The Public News Service tweeted Heyman, its producer, is in the South Central Regional Jail, for "causing a disturbance by yelling questions" while Price and Conway were in town.

The news organization's tweets go on to say "He was trying to ask @KellyannePolls and @SecPriceMD questions when he was arrested."
