The Gold Star father who was arrested after shouting at President Biden while he was delivering the State of the Union address earlier this month told Fox News on Tuesday that the charges against him have not been dropped.
Steve Nikoui said he was "not very much" surprised that the Biden administration hadn’t intervened on his behalf following the incident on March 7.
"No charges have been dropped," Nikoui told Fox News outside a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the president’s chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
U.S. Capitol Police told Fox News on Tuesday that the charges leveled against Nikoui are being handled by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia — which is under the direct supervision of Attorney General Merrick Garland.
