Neighbor Suggests Alito Lied About Flag Timeline

The Daily Beast reports:

The former neighbor of Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann, told CNN in her first television interview Wednesday that the Supreme Court justice’s account of a dispute between her and his wife didn’t add up—and that he was “at best mistaken, but at worst he’s just outright lying.”

On OutFront, Emily Baden said that a verbal exchange with Martha-Ann—which Alito claimed was the reason for his wife flying the upside-down American flag—occurred in mid-February. A photograph of the flag was taken Jan. 17.

Baden’s interview comes after The Washington Post, which spoke with her, reported in a story published Wednesday that a Fairfax County, Virginia, government spokesman confirmed that a call to police was made on Feb. 15—undercutting Alito’s version of events.
