Chapter 17 - THE ARREST OF THE SENATOR
Senator Thomas Sterling’s arrogant smile evaporated instantly as federal marshals slammed him against his armored sedan.
"You have no authority to touch a sitting United States Senator!" Sterling roared as steel cuffs locked his wrists.
"You are under arrest for treason, human trafficking, and extortion, Senator," the lead FBI agent announced firmly.
Passersby on Pennsylvania Avenue gathered in shock, filming the sensational arrest of the political giant on their phones.
Clara handed the encrypted hard drive directly to the Special Assistant Attorney General at the scene.
"Every name, account, and stolen child is documented on this drive, Director," Clara informed him clearly.
"You've done a great service for this country, Mrs. Vance," the Director replied, taking the drive securely.
Clara watched as Senator Sterling was loaded into the back of a federal transport van under heavy guard.
