On February 17, Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative senior advisor and Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Thomas Warrick was quoted in a WUSA9 article titled “DC police lieutenant under investigation for possible ties to white supremacists.” Warrick advocated for patience and diligence in investigating a DC lieutenant’s potential radical ties.
