Air Force Major Jason Watson—who was arrested on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building last month while calling for President Trump’s impeachment—has been arrested again.

Watson was detained on Tuesday, just one day after an exclusive CNN interview in which he said the president was “violating the Constitution, breaking the law, [and] engaged in rampant corruption.” Watson is currently in pretrial confinement in Maryland based on “allegations of continued misconduct” according to the Air Force. It did not identify the specific misconduct allegations, although his attorney believes that his recent CNN appearance is to blame.

“What is happening with President Trump is not normal. He has failed us,” Watson told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday. “And not only is he a failure as president, he is flagrantly violating the Constitution, breaking the law, engaged in rampant corruption, and is killing Americans. And that is unacceptable to me and it should be unacceptable to all of us.”

      Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have ever been hopeful or proud of this country because of its past, but I used to feel like it was getting better and I was hopeful. All gone now… Hoping to get it back some day but not holding my breath.

        Same boat. It really looked like we were making progress one baby step at a time. Then we threw it in the trash practically overnight.

        One step forward, full sprint until total muscle failure back.

        I’ll admit this wave of democratic socialists finding success does have me coming out of that shell a bit, but god damnit I should know better…
