A former police officer who defended the Capitol from a pro-Trump mob during the January 6 insurrection has sued a right-wing media outlet and two of its former writers, who accused her of planting pipe bombs outside both the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters.
Blaze Media writers Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman subjected Shauni Kerkhoof to “a traumatic and humiliating gauntlet” after making the “nonsensical” allegations that resulted in her being fired, harassed, and even investigated by the FBI, according to a defamation lawsuit filed Tuesday in Virginia.
