BREAKING: Dashcam Footage Released of Fatal Police Shooting of Recently-Pardoned J6 Defendant Matthew Huttle
Newly released dashcam footage reveals the fatal police shooting of 42-year-old Matthew Huttle, a recently pardoned participant in the Capitol event.
The incident occurred on January 26, 2025, in Jasper County, Indiana, just days after President Donald Trump issued a blanket pardon to over 1,500 individuals involved in the 2021 protest.
It can be recalled that Investigative journalist Yehuda Miller and The Gateway Pundit reached out to Jasper County Sheriff Williamson following the news of the deadly shooting. We FOIAed video of the incident from the police cameras.
Sheriff Williamson told us that because this was an open investigation, he would not release the footage!
The video will only be released when the investigation is completed.
The footage, made public by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, begins with a deputy initiating a traffic stop on Huttle’s gold minivan for speeding—70 mph in a 55 mph zone.
Upon approach, Huttle immediately identifies himself as a January 6 defendant awaiting a pardon.
Visibly distressed, Huttle pleads, “I can’t go to jail,” before abruptly attempting to re-enter his vehicle, according to Indy Star.
A struggle ensues, during which Huttle declares, “I’m shooting myself.” The deputy, perceiving an imminent threat, discharges his firearm, fatally wounding Huttle.
Transcript from Fox59:
Huttle then tells the deputy, unprompted, “I just want you to know I’m a January 6 defendant.”
“What do you mean?” the deputy asks.
“I stormed the Capitol,” Huttle says.
“Really?”
“Am I under arrest or anything?” Huttle asks.
After Huttle joins the deputy at the back of the van, the law enforcement officer explains that Huttle is a habitual offender. He gives Huttle a verbal warning for the speeding, but due to the felony status of being a habitual offender, the deputy says he has to take Huttle into custody.
“Today, you are going to come with me,” the deputy says.
“I can’t, I can’t,” Huttle responds.
“You’re going to have to,” the deputy tells him.
“I can’t go to jail for this, sir.”
“Don’t you do it, buddy!” the deputy says while chasing after him.
Huttle jumps into the driver’s seat and the two struggle, but the body camera footage is blurred and little can be made out.
“I’m shooting myself,” Huttle can be heard saying.
“No, no, no, no,” the deputy says.
A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered a loaded 9 mm handgun and a substantial amount of ammunition. The Clinton County Prosecutor’s Office has deemed the deputy’s use of deadly force legally justified.
At no time did Matt threaten the officer’s life, only his own. Now sadly, the sheriff deputy who shot Matthew has a wife and three kids. Nobody wins – PTSD Part of the bigger conversation we need to have about weaponized justice, and fix these problems for everyone.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that David Sumrall spoke with Matt’s father, Don, a retired police officer himself, to gather more facts about the autopsy results:
5 shots total:
1 shot to the back through the heart rupturing his aorta
1 shot to the back of his neck which went into his brain
1 shot to the back of his left shoulder
1 shot to the left thumb which in other cases have proved to be a defensive wound
1 shot fired from the sheriff’s gun missed Matt
Here is Matthew’s father’s quote: “You don’t kill a man who is threatening to kill himself. These guys are trained these days to make a legal decision, not a moral decision. The wrong decision will haunt you.” – Don Huttle

Federal judge orders four Trump administration officials to testify on DOGE activities
U.S. District Judge John Bates said the attorneys for the plaintiffs will be allowed to question an official from the DOGE’s White House headquarters, and one from the Labor Department, HHS, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
A federal judge on Thursday ordered four unspecified Trump administration officials to testify about the activities of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the federal government.
The order is the first of its kind and is an attempt to provide more clarity on what the new department actually does after it requests access to sensitive government databases. The department's requests have triggered over a dozen lawsuits.
U.S. District Judge John Bates said the attorneys for the plaintiffs will be allowed to question an official from the DOGE’s White House headquarters, and one each from the Labor Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The depositions will be capped at a total of eight hours, and are expected to clarify whether the department's activities pose risks to sensitive information, according to Politico.
“It would be strange to permit defendants to submit evidence that addresses critical factual issues and proceed to rule on a preliminary injunction motion without permitting plaintiffs to explore those factual issues through very limited discovery,” Bates wrote.
Bates' order also allows attorneys for the plaintiffs to submit a limited set of written questions to the agencies before the examination. The agency officials must be knowledgeable about the data security and access issues within their respective departments.
The Justice Department has objected to the order, but Bates said the plaintiffs should be allowed to build their case.

NOAA begins mass terminations of hundreds of employees in latest federal cuts
Sources told The Hill that the layoffs will affect between 560 and 1,830 workers at the NOAA, which could amount to more than 10% of its workforce. The agency had a permanent workforce of 11,758 in fiscal year 2023.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on Thursday began laying off hundreds of its probationary employees, signaling the latest firings from government agencies in an effort to downscale the federal workforce.
The Trump administration began its massive reorganization of the federal government earlier this month, after the Office of Personnel Management directed federal agencies to begin firing its employees who are still in their probationary period.
Three sources told The Hill that the NOAA layoffs will affect between 560 and 1,830 workers at the agency, which could amount to more than 10% of its workforce. The agency had a permanent workforce of 11,758 in fiscal year 2023.
The sources said the terminations were contingent on whether Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was confirmed and sworn in. NOAA is part of the Department of Commerce, and provides daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, climate monitoring, coastal restoration, and the supporting of marine commerce, the department website says.
The firings began on Thursday afternoon and are expected to continue into Friday.
California Rep. Jared Huffman, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, slammed the firings in a statement.
“[Elon] Musk’s sham mission is bringing vital programs to a screeching halt. People nationwide depend on NOAA for free, accurate forecasts, severe weather alerts, and emergency information. Purging the government of scientists, experts, and career civil servants and slashing fundamental programs will cost lives,” Huffman said.
“My Democratic colleagues and I will keep fighting back in state and federal courts, in the halls of Congress, and the court of public opinion," he continued. "This is a betrayal of the American people, and it will not stand.”

Influential American Federation of Teachers union sues Education Department over DEI order
Randi Weingarten, the teachers union president, became famous for her left-wing activism.
The influential American Federation of Teachers is suing the Education Department over its order that schools receiving federal funds either end their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs within 14 days or risk losing the taxpayer money.
The suit was filed Tuesday, following the agency's Feb. 14 letter in which schools nationwide were given an ultimatum.
ATF, the country's second-largest teachers union, is led by Randi Weingarten. Historically, It has supported Democrats running for elected office through fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts.
Weingarten is a longtime friend of Hilary Clinton, and ATF leadership's endorsement of her as the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee roiled rank-and-file union members.
The American Sociological Association (ASA), the national scholarly society for sociologists, is another plaintiff in the ATF lawsuit.
The suit was filed in a federal court in Maryland and alleges the department violated the First Amendment by forcing schools to teach only the views supported by the federal government.
The plaintiffs also argue the letter violated the Fifth Amendment because the directives are so vague that schools might not know which practices cross the line.
"The overbreadth and vagueness of the law, and the content-based restrictions it places on speech and expression, will force plaintiffs’ members to choose between chilling their constitutionally protected speech and association or risk losing federal funds and being subject to prosecution," the complaint stated.
The AFT and ASA asked the judge to declare the policy unconstitutional and bar federal officials from enforcing the directive.
Since taking office about a month ago, President Trump has aggressively tried to fulfill his campaign promise of eliminating such programs from institutions that receive federal funds, amid the argument that DEI initiatives are discriminatory and prioritize certain demographics over merit, particularly in hiring.
Craig Trainor, the department's acting assistant secretary for civil rights, in the letter to schools said DEI initiatives are "overt and covert racial discrimination" in K–12 schools and universities.
Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 20, his first day in office, to end "radical and wasteful government DEI programs."

Bezos directs Washington Post to promote ‘personal liberties, 'free markets’ in opinion page
Bezos said that freedom is ethical, practical and encourages creativity.
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos announced Wednesday that he is going to change the opinion section of the newspaper to promote personal liberties and free markets.
"We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets," Bezos wrote on the social media platform, X. "We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others."
He went on to say that freedom is ethical, practical and encourages creativity.
"I am of America and for America, and proud to be so," Bezos wrote. "Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else."
This demonstrates another shift that Bezos is making in an attempt to make newspaper's largely liberal-leaning opinion pages more neutral.
In October of last year, the newspaper decided not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race, after having done so for decades.

California Gov. Newsom launches own podcast, in which he'll interview MAGA-ites
The program will be produced by iHeartPodcasts.
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he's launching his own podcast in which he'll interview guests who disagree with him on policy.
"I'm talking directly with people I disagree with, people I look up to, and you – the listeners," Newsom wrote on the social media platform, X. "Egg prices? Tariffs? DOGE? We're tackling all your big questions."
Newsom is considered a top likely Democratic candidate for president in 2028 and is considered among the most liberal within his political party, which will means likley have to appeal to moderates and some conservative to win a general election.
He said in a video that this podcast isn't an "ordinary politician" podcast.
Newsom is going to speak to individuals in the MAGA camp as well as other Democrats, according to a report from the Politico outlet.
“We already know what our disagreements are with the MAGA movement," Newsom said, according to the outlet. "I want to understand what the motivations are, the legitimacy of those motivations, and just really understand where people are coming from."
The program will be produced by iHeartPodcasts.
“At the same time, I want Democrats to come on and sort of challenge where we are on a lot of these issues,” Newsom said. “And so I’m asking the same questions you’re asking of me: Where the hell is the Democratic Party?"

FTC crashes FCC party in threats against Big Tech for censorship in tug-of-war with Europe, Brazil
Shadowbanning, demonetizing may violate consumer protection, competition laws under FTC purview, new agency chair warns. Section 230 "advisory opinion" could send Big Tech investors fleeing, columnist forecasts.
Like a child custody battle in a throuple, U.S. tech companies are getting pulled in three directions as the Trump administration abandons its predecessor's tacit tolerance, if not always explicit approval, for official censorship in the European Union and Brazil.
The Federal Trade Commission joined the Federal Communications Commission in pressuring Big Tech to back off content moderation that allegedly suppresses conservative speech and challenges to establishment narratives compared to other speech, an evolution of the agencies' history of turf wars on internet policy issues.
President Trump issued another sweeping executive order Friday that includes investigating and countering U.K. and EU policies that may have "the effect of requiring or incentivizing the use or development" of U.S.-made products and services "in ways that undermine freedom of speech and political engagement or otherwise moderate content."
Trump Media and Technology Group, home of the president's Truth Social, and video platform Rumble also got a reprieve from a federal court in their lawsuit against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes for his censorship orders.
U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven, nominated by President George W. Bush, ruled that Moraes didn't follow the Hague Convention or the countries' Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty in issuing his orders, so the plaintiffs didn't need a temporary restraining order to stop him.
"Censorship by technology platforms is not just un-American, it is potentially illegal," the FTC said, issuing a request for information that seeks public comment on consumer harm from "potentially unfair or deceptive acts or practices, or potentially unfair methods of competition," and specifically input from "current and former employees of technology platforms."
It asks for circumstances under which platforms have shadowbanned and demonetized users based on their speech and affiliations, what their "public-facing representations" said about moderation and whether users could appeal sanctions, what influenced such adverse actions and how they may have been enabled by lack of competition or weakened competition.
"Tech firms should not be bullying their users" into silencing themselves based on viewpoint, said FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, who was first appointed to the commission by President Biden and confirmed by the Senate less than a year ago.
Roughly 1,000 comments had already been filed by Wednesday afternoon in a proceeding that runs through May 21, many without real names and either critical of the proceeding or implying President Trump and X owner Elon Musk are the real threat to free speech.
"The Trumpsters are censoring our ability to say Gulf of Mexico, he//him, etc.," commenter "Andrew Ferguson" wrote, referring to Trump's tiff with the Associated Press over the renamed "Gulf of America" and reported ban on federal employees listing their gender pronouns.
It appears to be the Trump FTC's first confirmed shot across the bow at Big Tech, arriving late to the party started by cell tower-climbing FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, dubbed a Trump "sycophant" by House Judiciary Committee Ranking Democrat Jamie Raskin for reinstating complaints against broadcast networks for their election coverage decisions including editing.
Less than two weeks after the election, Trump-nominated Commissioner Carr said the "censorship cartel" that silenced Americans, with help from an "Orwellian" purported fact-checker, "must be dismantled and destroyed."
In letters to Google and Facebook parent companies as well as Microsoft and Apple, Carr said their work with NewsGuard, a rating system for news and information websites, might not be in "good faith," the condition for legal immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
Apple also has to fend off increasing attacks from conservative rabble-rousers.
It defeated four resolutions at its annual shareholder meeting this week including transparency on how it fights child sexual abuse material and its relationships with activists such as the Human Rights Campaign, which requires companies to pay for so-called gender affirming care for minors to perform well on its Corporate Equality Index.
