FBI put Catholic school teacher on terrorist watch list after unverified tip

On the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Senate Republicans released new investigative findings alleging the Biden administration improperly placed the wife of a federal air marshal on a terrorist watchlist based on unverified information.

The report, released by Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, centers on documents obtained from Biden-era FBI detailing how Christine Crowder, a Catholic school teacher and the wife of senior federal air marshal Mark Crowder, was placed on a federal terrorist watch list and surveilled for over two years following an anonymous tip tied to her participation in the Washington, D.C. protest on Jan. 6, 2021.
