Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz, 45, has been charged with a weapons violation for carrying an unloaded handgun through airport security at Washington Dulles International Airport on her way to a meeting in Europe. Spartz, a Trump-aligned, Second Amendment supporting Republican, accidentally had the firearm in her suitcase pocket. She was issued a citation and allowed to continue her international travel. If convicted, the charge could lead to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Spartz, the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress, recently voted against sending war aid to Ukraine, marking a shift from her previous stance during Russia's invasion.
