Child Abuse, Familial Abuse & Violence

Prior to his attack on the U.S. Capitol, he had thirteen criminal convictions including one for battery of a child. Huttle had served over two years for child abuse, convicted of battery so severe that his son had bruises all over his backside. The child could not sit properly for over a week. He racked up another four charges between January 6th and his pardon. He was shot and killed by a deputy in a traffic stop.

1242: Matt Hall

Familial Abuse & Violence, Menacing

Matt Hall is the Michigan State House Republican Leader and an active participant in the autogolpe for Trump. His rise to that position has drawn scrutiny on his past with allegations of threats and domestic violence, perhaps scrutiny that should have come much earlier in his career.

1224: John Sweeney

Familial Abuse & Violence

In 2005, Sweeney’s wife Gayle called 911 alleging he physically abused her. The police came and wrote up a report. This became a bigger scandal because the state police wrote up a second incident report sanitized of any abuse allegation. The domestic violence allegation came out in 2006 and contributed to his election loss. Incidentally, when reporters found evidence that the police altered their records to protect Sweeney, the state police did not investigate how that happened. The investigated who leaked it.
