In a statement, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said that after reviewing the evidence, it “cannot move forward with misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry against the nine individuals who were arrested on June 16, 2022 at the Longworth Office Building.”
The office confirmed that those individuals had been invited in by congressional staffers “and were never asked to leave by the staffers who invited them, though, members of the group had been told at various points by the U.S. Capitol Police that they were supposed to have an escort.”
