BREAKING: Alec Baldwin charged with Involuntary Manslaughter in ‘Rust’ shooting
Prosecutors in Santa Fe County, New Mexico announced Thursday that actor and producer Alec Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter for the shooting during the filming of his movie ‘Rust’ which killed director Halyna Hutchins. The film’s head armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was also charged with involuntary manslaughter. Both face a maximum of 5 years in prison if convicted.
Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said Baldwin is being charged as both an actor and a producer on the movie. “She says he pulls the trigger as the actor, and had a duty to make sure the set was safe as a producer” reports TMZ.
Carmack-Altwies believes the investigation took so long was because prosecutors were waiting to see what the FBI concluded about the gun. With the FBI’s analysis, the D.A. says Alec definitely pulled the trigger because she trusts the FBI’s analysis.

Alec Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas released a statement saying:
“This decision distorts Halyna Hutchins’ tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set. He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We will fight these charges, and we will win.”

Judge orders Biden’s DHS to release files on agents accused of censoring election ‘misinformation’
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry made headway in countering federal agents involved in suppressing what liberal tech labeled “misinformation” on social media.
The Attorneys General moved to release testimony from five Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) employees after learning of their participation in the Biden administration’s counter-“disinformation” efforts. On Wednesday, a Louisiana judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release the files.
Court documents dated Jan. 19 show the agents participated. The judge’s motion Wednesday could shed light on a “switchboarding” tactic employed during the 2020 election, according to the order.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, which include the named individuals as well as President Joe Biden and top officials from a variety of federal agencies, “colluded and/or coerced social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms by labeling the content “dis-information,” “mis-information,” and “mal-formation.”
The Daily Caller reports that the five CISA employees allegedly served as a “switchboard” to route requests from federal agencies to censor disinformation to various social media companies, according to the documents.
Switchboard work employed “an audit official to identify something on social media they deemed to be disinformation aimed at their jurisdiction,” top CISA election security agent Brian Skully testified in a deposition released Thursday.
“They couldforward that to CISA and CISA would share that with the appropriate social mediacompanies.”
UPDATE: The judge granted our motion to compel. CISA has 14 days to comply. https://t.co/2bhwQQJTG6
