The Knoxville Police Department has now released video footage of their interaction with a Tennessee woman who was arrested and later died in police custody.

Lisa Edwards, a 60-year-old woman, was previously found to have died of a stroke. No charges were filed against the arresting officers, Sergeant Brandon Wardlaw, Officer Adam Barnett, Officer Timothy Distasio, and Transportation Officer Danny Dugan.

But all four officers are still on administrative leave due to an ongoing internal investigation, according to Knoxville Police Department Spokesperson Scott Erland.

The Knoxville Police Department (KPD) and the District Attorney's office have both released the event timeline for the general public.

Edwards was initially taken into police custody after refusing to leave Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, where she arrived the day before after having abdominal issues and being diagnosed with constipation. She was then discharged at 7 a.m. on Feb. 5.

Once she was discharged, Edwards, who uses a wheelchair refused to leave and hospital security was called. Hospital security then called KPD to have her officially evicted from the property.

Wardlaw was the responding officer who determined to take her into custody. However, Edwards complained that the KPD wagon was too high off the ground for her to get into.

In the video, Edwards can be heard complaining that she "can't breathe" and that she is "going to die." But police accuse her of faking it.

“It’s all an act,” one officer can be heard saying.

Edwards was then loaded into Distasio's patrol car. En route to the detention center Distasio, responded to a call for a reckless driver. When he stopped, Distasio noticed that Edwards was unresponsive and an ambulance took Edwards right back to Fort Sanders.

Edwards was then placed on life support before she passed away.

A law expert warned "the writing is on the wall" for former President Donald Trump as parts of a grand jury's report into attempts to overturn election results in Georgia are expected to be made public, according to Newsweek.

Georgia Judge Robert McBurney, said in an interview with Newsweek that the report provided to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis gave the prosecutor "exactly what she requested."

McBurney also disclosed that the report includes a detailed listing of exactly which individuals should be indicted, as well as the reasons and evidence for their findings.

Georgia State University College of Law Professor Anthony Michael Kreis said on Twitter, "the writing is on the wall" for Trump and his associates. Kreis expects indictments to be handed out soon, and even Willis has publicly stated that an indictment could be "imminent."

Trump's back-door efforts to change the Georgia election results in his favor weren't so secret, as he made a now-famous call to the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021 with a specific request to find a way to identify the number of votes he needed to win the state.

McBurney is expected to make select portions of the grand jury report available to the general public on Thursday. The release will include the introduction and conclusion from the final report, and a special section which will comment on concerns that some unnamed witnesses may have lied under oath.

The House of Representatives Rules Committee hearing denouncing socialism was turned upside down when longtime Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA), repurposed a line of questions from Representative Nick Langworthy (R-NY) about the prevalence and adoption of socialism in the United States.

"We will not have a cradle to grave dependency," Langworthy said in the hearing. "This country will not be all things to all people. We cannot create an expectation that government is all things to all people."

Langworthy then turned his questioning to Waters, who was testifying as a witness in the hearing.

"Do you agree with Donald Trump's statement in the 2019 State of the Union that America will never be a socialist country," Langworthy asked Waters.

Waters then took control of the dialogue, first referencing the high level of debt spending that occurred during the Trump administration then questioning the validity of Langworthy and the Republican party's stance against socialism. Waters also spoke on the "Democratic spending myth."

"There are industries [Republicans] support, and now you think they are ripping people off," said Waters.

Waters then asked Langworthy if he believed the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was a socialist initiative, citing the number of Republicans in Congress who took funds from the PPP program. Langworthy said it was not a socialist initiative because it was done during "an extraordinary time when we shut down the government."

Langworthy then repeated if Waters agreed with Trump's 2019 State of the Union declaration about socialism.

""President Trump said a lot of things," said Waters. "He said he thought Hitler did some good things. For those of you who continue to embrace Trump and all that he did and said -- I reject all that. Trump has proven to be someone who is in line with dictators and admires them and claims to love them, so I reject any and everything Trump has to say."

Waters then took the time to question the GOP's position on socialism once again.

"Sometimes you like socialism, sometimes you act like you don't," Waters said.

Langworthy ended up ceding his time.

"We're talking about stuff you don't want to talk about," Waters said to end the discussion.

As Republican party loyalists are enjoying the afterglow of classified documents being found belonging to President Joe Biden, while minimizing the classified documents that have been found at the Indiana home of former Vice President Mike Pence, Steve Bannon longtime adviser, supporter and confidant of former President Donald Trump, has used the opportunity to knock Pence off his GOP platform for a possible 2024 presidential campaign.

On Bannon's Gettr social media account, he reacted to the news of Pence's classified documents.

"Judas Pence attempts to provide cover for Biden," Bannon posted.

Bannon's comments come with no basis on Pence trying to minimize the findings of Biden's classified documents, and before a major media response has been provided by Pence. Most political insiders believe Bannon is just acting as a de facto Trump spokesperson on the issue.

Another possibility is that Bannon is trying to deflect attention from his current case and the charges that he fraudulently obtained donations for the Build the Wall Campaign and misappropriated those funds for the unfinished project. Bannon is facing charges of conspiracy, money laundering and scheming to defraud investors.

A Kansas man on trial for a death threat to a U.S. representative has said he was inspired by God for his actions and that the charges need to be dismissed.

According to FOX News, Chase Neill from Lawrence, Kansas became obsessed with State Rep. Jake LaTurner and was angered that he ignored his pleas to fight against the dangers posed by alien life forms, sorcery and wizards.

After disclosing to the jury that he sees his official job as combatting "high sorcery," Neill attempted to put his faith on display.

"I am really trying to explain how I interact with God, and it is a difficult explanation," he told the jury. "I apologize. I am held to an obligation by our Creator."

That obligation included Neill leaving a voicemail in June for LaTurner at his Topeka office after office hours that included him saying, "I will kill you."

Neill, who is representing himself in court as his own lawyer, said his actions were responses to hearing God's "trumpet."

Neill has described himself solely as a messenger and told LaTurner that he and other politicians are facing death by an act of God as a punishment for their actions.

"I am not going to try to pursue him for some sort of violent crime," Neill said during trial testimony.

While there are still more questions than answers for both political parties regarding the 2024 presidential nomination process, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), who is a longtime ally of President Joe Biden, has specifically warned the Democratic Party about the possibility of running against Biden in a party presidential primary election.

In an interview with CBS News, Clyburn not only predicted that Biden will run for re-election, but also made it clear where he stands about any other Democrat, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is thinking about running against Biden in a party primary race.

"I don't think he will [have a Democratic challenger for President], and I don't think he should," Clyburn said. "The history is very clear on what happens when you challenge a sitting president like this."

It is an unquestionable trend that whenever a sitting U.S. President gets a challenge within its own party for a primary race, that sitting President usually wins, but then is defeated in the general election in November.

The Democratic Party always points to the tough challenge Ted Kennedy gave President Jimmy Carter in 1980, exposing campaign and messaging weaknesses that were further exploited by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election. This repeated itself in 1992 when a primary challenge from Pat Buchanan helped paved the way for incumbent President George H.W. Bush's defeat.

According to Axios, one of the first actions of the new Republican-controlled House of Representatives was to remove metal detectors outside of the House chambers.

The move comes just days before the upcoming second anniversary of the Jan. 6 attacks.

The removal of the metal detectors has been widely seen as a political move to unite the Republican party, as they grapple with internal infighting from voting for Speaker of the House to the nomination process for the 2024 Presidential election.

The designated spokesperson for the Republican party members on the House of Representatives Rules Committee has not responded to media inquires requesting a further explanation.

Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert, a noted pro-gun enthusiast, said the move to remove the metal detectors helped turn the House back "into the peoples House."
