Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Thursday pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge relating to pulling a false fire alarm in a Capitol building, The Hill reports.
District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb charged Bowman with a violation of the D.C. code for pulling a fire alarm inside the Cannon House Office Building during a Sept. 30 House vote on a GOP funding package. The House scrambled to vote on a funding package to keep the government open as the 2023 fiscal year came to an end.
