DC attorney general drops charges against Steve Nikoui for disruption of Congress during SOTU speech https://t.co/Lu5xGuhmra #FoxNews

Brian Schwalb, the Democratic attorney general in Washington, D.C., has dropped charges against Gold Star father Steve Nikoui for disrupting Congress during President Biden’s State of the Union speech earlier this month.
Nikoui is the father of Kareem Nikoui who was killed during the Biden Administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
Fox News learned of the decision Tuesday evening. The decision to drop the charges was confirmed by the Speaker’s Office.
The DC AG’s office told Fox News that it decided not to prosecute in this case just as they have in the cases of protesters in the past.
Fox News was told that Nikoui was “thrilled and humbled,” and that there were tears when he heard the news from Rep. Darrel Issa of California.
Other families were also with him when he found out the news.
Nikoui was a guest of Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., for the speech and interrupted the president, shouting “Abbey Gate!”
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) warned Nikoui and then removed him from the chamber and arrested him.
Rare as it is, I’m glad they did the right thing.
