MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her.

She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

NEW: American Airlines flight attendant Estes Carter Thompson III indicted for secretly filming a 14-year-old girl going to the bathroom on the plane.

Police say Thompson had recordings of four other girls, 7, 9, 11 & 14, on his phone.

The incident happened when Thompson noticed the girl was waiting for the lavatory. He mentioned that the first-class lavatory was open and escorted her to the front.

Before entering, Thompson said he needed to wash his hands. He taped his phone to the seat.

The girl didn't noticed the phone until she got up. She took a picture to show her mother.

The mother then told her father who confronted Thompson in the back of the plane where a "kerfuffle" went down according to the family's lawyer.

Thompson is facing 15-30 years in prison for attempted exploitation of children and 20 years for having images of a prepubescent minor.
