A young veteran who served three tours of duty was forced from his Minnesota home during an early morning FBI raid. Aaron James, 38, is facing decades in prison for helping a dying woman on the U.S. Capitol steps on Jan. 6, 2021.

He spoke exclusively to Alpha News on the latest episode of Liz Collin Reports.

“It’s been difficult to say the least,” James said.

James, his two brothers and stepfather are all facing prison time in connection to Jan. 6. The family’s trial was initially scheduled for February, but the trial was delayed after they obtained new lawyers.

They next have a status update on April 30 which will determine when the trial will be held.

James’ mother, Rosemarie Westbury, spoke to Alpha News in January and decried what she described as America’s “two-tiered justice system.”
