The Defense Department’s independent watchdog is declining to investigate a US Army helicopter flight near the home of musician Kid Rock and at a “No Kings” protest against Donald Trump. The watchdog's decision means no formal examination will take place into the circumstances of the flight at either site.
U.S. President.
The same report stated the watchdog is also declining to investigate the flight at the “No Kings” protest against Donald Trump. The dual locations of the helicopter's activity tied the musician's residence and the political demonstration together in the watchdog's review process. No further details on the timing or exact path of the US Army helicopter were disclosed in the reporting.
The absence of an investigation leaves both events without additional military oversight.
