John Tuthill, a scientist who studies brain control of movement, was banned from NIH today due to Trump directives.
He was scheduled to give a seminar about his work. But all visiting seminars have been banned.

And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office.
But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.
