A staffer for Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) was arrested by Capitol Police just before the senator began his marathon speech on the Senate floor.

Kevin Batts, 59, was arrested by Capitol Police for carrying a pistol without a license. Batts is a special assistant to Booker, according to LegiStorm, and has worked for the senator in that role since November 2013, with a gap between February 2019 and February 2020.
